General inspections of the Justice Ministry and General Prosecutor’s Office split

Liberali reports that the responsibilities and duties of the inspection units of the Ministry of Justice and the General Prosecutor’s Office have been separated. According to the Ministry of Justice, the functions of the general inspection unit of the ministry have been rearranged, while a new general inspection department has been established at the Chief Prosecutor's Office.

"The general inspection unit of the Ministry of Justice is subordinate to the justice minister, while the general inspection unit of the Chief Prosecutor’s Office is subordinate to the chief prosecutor." a statement on the ministry’s website reads.
