Adv. Moran Nagid’s new policy paper examines a critical deficiency in Israel’s criminal justice system: the absence of any meaningful pre-indictment oversight of prosecutorial decisions.
Unlike other judicial systems, the prosecution in Israel has sole authority to determine whether charges should be filed, with no independent review mechanism before indictment.
Citizens should be more protected from such concentration of power, and balance must be restored to a system that has deviated from its adversarial foundations toward a problematic “presumption of prosecution”.
