The Government of the Republic of Slovenia has announced that it has adopted an amendment to the regulation on the cooperation between the police and the state prosecutor's office at today's session. Minister Franci Matoz explained that the state prosecutor's office will have to confirm oral instructions to the police in writing no later than 12 hours, which is intended to ensure greater traceability and accountability in decision-making. He added that the regulation again clearly defines the independent authority of the police to detain suspects for up to 48 hours when the legal conditions are met. #Slovenija #policija #zakonodaja (translated)
