Justice and Digital Minister Liisa Pakosta indicated that the agenda for the proposed legislation modification included the court proceedings involving former police chiefs Elmar Vaheri, Eerik Heldna, and Aivar Alavere. Separately, the government approved a draft amendment to the Prosecutor’s Office Act on Thursday. This proposed legislative change is expected to impact the autonomy of prosecutors when submitting criminal cases for appeal to the Supreme Court (riigikohtusse). According to the details of the draft, the process for filing a cassation appeal to the riigikohtusse will undergo a significant procedural adjustment. The new rules mandate a more substantive review of the case materials compared to previous requirements. Furthermore, the draft stipulates that such appeals will require the explicit endorsement of both the Chief Prosecutor and the State Prosecutor. These proposed changes represent a notable structural shift within the legal framework governing prosecutorial action. The valitsus approval marks a key step in the process of muutmise (amendment) to the established prosecutorial guidelines. Legal analysts suggest that the increased layers of required approval could affect the scope of prosecutorial discretion when handling high-level criminal appeals. The passage of this law is anticipated to reshape how criminal cases proceed through the highest court Topics: #riigikohtusse #valitsus #muutmise Post navigation Endise juudi kalmistu kohal asuv hoone ajas Leedu võimupartei tülli Psühholoog Rita Rätsepp emadele: mõnikord on vaja lihtsalt öelda «ei»
