Summary/Abstract: Today, a crucial contribution to criminal prosecution is made by the criminal investigation officer. This study reflects his status in the criminal process, his importance in ensuring a fair, objective and multi-sided investigation of all the circumstances underlying the commission of offences, those which mitigate or aggravate criminal liability, those which exclude prosecution, etc. Moreover, the contribution made by prosecution officers to each individual criminal case is enormous, since they are often the ones who assess each piece of evidence separately and then by corroboration, evidence which will lead the courts to assess the guilt or innocence of the person, the form of participation, etc. It should also be noted that the proportion of procedural documents drawn up by officers is much greater than that of prosecutors per case, and therefore the work involved is also greater. Thus, in this article, the authors highlight the real possibilities that a prosecution officer has today, their strengths and weaknesses in relation to the existing legislation that directly regulates this activity.
