Federal prosecutor's office (Belgium) (original) (raw)
The federal prosecutor's office (Dutch: federaal parket, French: parquet fédéral, German: föderale Staatsanwaltschaft) of Belgium is a prosecutor's office with jurisdiction over the entire Belgian territory, unlike the other prosecutor's offices which are associated to a particular court or arrondissement ("judicial district"). The office was created in 2002 to be able to act more efficiently against certain forms of crime that transcend the borders of individual judicial districts, such as human trafficking or terrorism. In this capacity, the office has the power to carry out prosecutions in all Belgian courts with criminal jurisdiction. The office fulfills its duties under the authority of the Minister of Justice, and is bound by the prosecutorial guidelines of the College of prosecutors

| dbo:abstract | The federal prosecutor's office (Dutch: federaal parket, French: parquet fédéral, German: föderale Staatsanwaltschaft) of Belgium is a prosecutor's office with jurisdiction over the entire Belgian territory, unlike the other prosecutor's offices which are associated to a particular court or arrondissement ("judicial district"). The office was created in 2002 to be able to act more efficiently against certain forms of crime that transcend the borders of individual judicial districts, such as human trafficking or terrorism. In this capacity, the office has the power to carry out prosecutions in all Belgian courts with criminal jurisdiction. The office fulfills its duties under the authority of the Minister of Justice, and is bound by the prosecutorial guidelines of the College of prosecutors-general. The federal prosecutor's office is located in Brussels. The office consists of around thirty federal magistrates ("assistant prosecutors") and is led by the federal prosecutor. As of 2020, the incumbent federal prosecutor is Frédéric Van Leeuw. The federal magistrates and federal prosecutor are not permanent members of the office; they are members of the other Belgian prosecutor's offices who are appointed for a five-year federal mandate. (en) Het federaal parket is in België een parket waarvan de bevoegdheid zich uitstrekt over het hele Belgische grondgebied. Het federaal parket bestaat uit federale magistraten en wordt geleid door een federale procureur. Sinds 2 april 2014 bekleedt Frédéric Van Leeuw de functie van federale procureur. Hij werd daarmee de opvolger van die de functie zeven jaar had opgenomen. Het federaal parket werd op 01 mei 2002 opgericht (onder impuls van het Octopusakkoord) om efficiënter te kunnen optreden tegen misdrijven die de plaatselijke gebiedsomschrijvingen overstijgen, zoals mensenhandel, terrorisme, georganiseerde misdaad of witwaspraktijken. In de andere (lokale) parketten van België heeft de procureur des Konings namelijk een territoriaal omschreven bevoegdheid: hij is enkel bevoegd in zijn gerechtelijk arrondissement. De werking van het federaal parket wordt geregeld in de art. 144bis en verder van het Gerechtelijk Wetboek. (nl) |
