The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed a case challenging the prosecutorial powers of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). The ruling affirms the OSP's authority to initiate and conduct prosecutions.
In its judgment, the apex court clarified that while the OSP possesses the power to prosecute, the Attorney General retains the prerogative to enter a 'nolle prosequi' and discontinue cases initiated by the OSP. This decision provides clarity on the distinct roles of these institutions in the justice system.
