Summary/Abstract: This paper has been inspired by the overview of the work of Ferenc Finkey as a crown prosecutor. It concentrates on certain procedural stages of the Hungarian Code on Criminal Procedure (Act XC of 2017) and demonstrates how this new act brings changes to the decision-making powers of the prosecutor’s office compared to the previous act and also how the prosecutor’s office serves as an important authority influencing the outcome of the case during the whole criminal process.
