Public procurator

A public procurator (Chinese: 公诉人;^[1] 检察官^[2]) is an officer of a state charged with both the investigation and prosecution of crime. The office is a feature of a civil law inquisitorial rather than common law adversarial system. Countries such as Japan, China, Russia, Indonesia and Lithuania adopt the procuratorial system.

The office of a procurator is called a procuracy or procuratorate.^[3] The terms are from Latin and originate with the procurators of the Roman Empire.
