Office of Prosecutor General

The role of the Prosecutor-General has been defined in terms of the Anti-Corruption Act, 2003 (Act No.8 of 2003)

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Director is required to investigate corruption and on completing the investigation the papers will pass to the Office of the Prosecutor-General. If there is prima facie evidence then the Prosecutor-General can decide to prosecute. 

The Office of the Prosecutor-General will also undertake prosecutions under the Prevention of Organised Crime Act which involves allegations of money laundering. The Prevention of Organised Crime Bill was adopted by the National Assembly in October 2004 and will come into operation together with the Financial Intelligence Act.
