On July 05, 2018, the Supreme People's Procuracy signed Decision 314/QD-VKSTC promulgating the Regulation on coordination between the superior People's Procuracy and the subordinate People's Procuracy in the resolution of criminal cases.
Notably, the collaboration at the first-instance trial involved the participation of prosecutors (KSV) on secondment and prosecutors from lower-level People's Procuracies (VKSND), specifically:
- Prosecutors from lower-level VKSND are responsible for overseeing procedural activities at the trial; participating in the questioning; and engaging in the debate;- Prosecutors on secondment are responsible for delivering the indictment; participating in the questioning, and engaging in the debate;- Prosecutors from both the lower-level VKSND and those on secondment, as assigned, ensure that the questioning and debates are comprehensive, thorough, and clarify the content of the indictment and charges;- If new evidence or documents emerge that alter the decision to prosecute made by the higher-level VKSND, the prosecutors on secondment and those from the lower-level VKSND must report to the leaders of both units to jointly report to the Chief Prosecutor of the higher-level VKSND for consideration and decision.
See details in Decision 314/QD-VKSTC, which takes effect from the date of signing and promulgation.
