LawRules #5: We need to talk about Prosecutors

Public prosecutors decide whether a criminal suspect is investigated. Or not. They decide whether a person is indicted and whether there will be a trial. Or not.

If you control them, you can make your opponents’ life miserable and let your friends run free. On the other hand: If prosecutors don’t have to answer to politics at all, who will hold them accountable?

This is what we discuss with these distinguished guests in this week’s episode:


Helfen Sie, die Verfassung zu schützen!

Die Verfassung gerät immer mehr unter Druck. Um sie schützen zu können, brauchen wir Wissen. Dieses Wissen machen wir zugänglich. Open Access.

Wir veröffentlichen aktuelle Analysen und Kommentare. Wir stoßen Debatten an. Wir klären auf über Gefahren für die Verfassung und wie sie abgewehrt werden können. In Thüringen. Im Bund. In Europa. In der Welt.

Dafür brauchen wir Ihre Unterstützung!

    Es wäre interessant eine Folge mit ähnlicher Fragestellung zum Prosecutor beim internationalen Strafgerichtshof zu machen :)
