First Justice Reform amends enter in effect tomorrow

All investigations held by the Prosecution will now need approval from courts beforehands.

In simple terms, the Prosecution cannot suspend an investigation, change charges, delay investigation periods or expertise tests, without a court approval.

For this reason, Courts will have to divide their judges. Some will be appointed for preliminary investigations, and others the basic case.

This will require a higher number of judges, especially for the preliminary sessions. The role of the Prosecution leaders, at this point, takes a more administrative nature since every competence goes to courts first.
