Public procurator

Public procurator

A public procurator is an officer of a state charged with both the investigation and prosecution of crime. The office is a feature of a civil law inquisitorial rather than common law adversarial system of law and is usually found in current or former communist states. The office of a procurator is called a procuracy or procuratorate.
