PGR will create a pilot unit in Luanda to prepare accusations

The Attorney General's Office (PGR) will create a pilot unit in Luanda next year to change the way the Public Prosecutor's Office prepares charges in district courts, the attorney general announced this Monday.

Hélder Pitta Grós spoke at the opening of the review meeting of the judicial regions, entities created in 2019 to supervise and coordinate the activity of all PGR provincial structures.

Currently, the PGR has five judicial regions: Luanda, Bengo and Cabinda; North; South; Center and East.

At issue is the preparation of accusations with the criminal police or investigation bodies, according to a PGR source contacted by Lusa.

"A pilot unit for preparing accusations will be created in Luanda at the beginning of next year, so we will do everything we can to ensure that other provincial bodies follow the same path and in this process regional coordinators will have a relevant role in implementing this change in procedure", indicated the head of the PGR.

Hélder Pitta Grós also defended his own and autonomous facilities for the operation of the Public Ministry alongside the criminal police bodies, as well as the legal consecration of their powers for better performance, and the construction of PGR headquarters in the country's new provinces, which went from 18 to 21, due to the political-administrative division.

"We recognize the budgetary difficulties we face, however, the implementation of this measure is of great relevance because in order to make our work with criminal police bodies more effective, we will need facilities that allow for better management of our human, technical and technological resources", he added.

Pitta Grós reaffirmed its commitment to actions to combat corruption and highlighted violent crime, domestic violence, economic-financial crimes, vandalization of public assets, fuel smuggling, crimes against fauna and flora and crimes information technology, as crimes that are included in the PGR's priorities "since they affect healthy coexistence in society and constitute real obstacles to the consolidation of the Democratic State and the Rule of Law".

Last week, the attorney general said in Botswana that, in recent years, the State has incurred damage to its treasury in the order of 100 billion dollars and recovered goods and assets worth around 6 billion dollars "which are being applied to social projects".

Assets valued at around 12 billion dollars were seized or seized, of which 3 billion dollars have already been subject to a final court decision.
