Special Prosecutor

A Special Prosecutor is an independent attorney appointed to investigate and potentially prosecute government officials or sensitive cases, usually involving allegations of misconduct. This role is often used when there is a conflict of interest for regular prosecutors or when impartiality is crucial. The Special Prosecutor operates outside the usual judicial hierarchy, which helps ensure that the investigation is fair and unbiased. The position is designed to uphold the rule of law and maintain public trust in the legal system, especially in politically charged cases.
