The Prosecutor General's Office has announced that it accepted 143 cases and filed 263 cases in court during the month of May.
The Prosecutor General’s Office has released its official statistics for the past month. According to the data, the office provided legal counsel on 447 occasions to various investigative authorities during this period.
Furthermore, the Prosecutor General’s Office stated that they attended 1,150 hearings over the past month.
While the Prosecutor General's Office filed 263 cases for prosecution in May, opposition figures continue to allege that the office's operations have stalled and are progressing too slowly. Furthermore, the government has faced widespread public criticism following the implementation of austerity measures, which authorities claim are necessary due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The Prosecutor General’s Office has introduced a series of measures effective from April 7, 2026, to May 31, 2026. These measures include designating every Tuesday as a remote work day for staff, conducting all official meetings online, and reducing office operating hours. Additionally, the office aims to cut costs and improve efficiency by minimizing electricity and paper consumption, as well as limiting the use of official vehicles.
Furthermore, the office noted that while staff will generally work from home every Tuesday during this period, essential tasks that require a physical presence will continue to be carried out on-site.
Furthermore, it was stated that court hearings will be attended regularly in person. Official meetings that cannot be conducted online, as well as those where a virtual format is deemed likely to compromise the intended outcome, will also be held in person.
To reduce electricity expenditures, the Prosecutor General’s Office has decided to encourage employees to perform remote-capable tasks from home after 2:00 PM, even on scheduled office days, and has moved the official office closing time forward to 6:00 PM.
The Prosecutor General’s Office stated that these changes will not result in any disruptions or delays to the services provided by the office to the public or other institutions.
