Thus, it will contribute to the restoration of social justice and ensure the productivity of the ongoing anti-corruption struggle. It was noted that absolute impartiality, adherence to principles and determination to be guided solely by the letter of the law are required from this department, as well as from all prosecutors representing it.
During the meeting, issues related to the establishment of clear criteria for investigations to recover illegal property, systematized and schematic provision of information on criminal cases and materials containing statutory grounds for starting to study the issue of confiscation of illegal property to the management from other divisions of the prosecutor's office were discussed.
