This includes the judicial districts  <strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office <\/strong> decides on the initiation, progress, and termination of the investigative proceedings.

The Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office can also participate in all investigations conducted by the criminal police, conduct investigations itself, or have them conducted by an expert.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In doing so, the <strong>Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office <\/strong> must always act objectively.
