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.

RADOSVETA VASSILIEVA is a legal scholar from Bulgaria currently living in the UK,

THOMAS GROSS is a Professor for Public Law, European Law and Comparative Law at the University of Osnabrück.
