Prosecutor's Office of Georgia

Prosecutor's Office of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს პროკურატურა, translit.: sakartvelos p'rok'urat'ura) is a government institution in Georgia, a legal party responsible for official prosecution in courts.

As defined by the Constitution of Georgia, amended in 2017 and 2018, the Prosecutor's Office is led by the Prosecutor General (გენერალური პროკურორი), who is elected by the Parliament of Georgia for a term of 6 years. The Prosecutor General's candidacy is nominated by the Prosecutors' Council (საპროკურორო საბჭო), an independent body directly accountable to the Parliament and composed of the Minister of Justice, attorneys, judges, and members of the Parliament as defined by the law. The Council is to ensure the independence, transparency, and efficiency of the Prosecutor's Office.[1]
