The Procedure for Subjecting the Prosecutor to Disciplinary Liability

On the occasion of the fact of a disciplinary violation, the Prosecutor General or the respective superior prosecutor shall institute disciplinary proceedings against the prosecutor.
The procedure for instituting disciplinary proceedings against a prosecutor shall be prescribed by the Prosecutor General.
The prosecutor shall have the right to give explanations with respect to the disciplinary proceedings instituted against him/her.
 Disciplinary proceedings shall be instituted within a period of 30 days following the day of detection of  a disciplinary violation but not later than 12 months following the day of committing it.
The duration of disciplinary proceedings may not be longer than three weeks, except for cases of absence of the prosecutor. In these cases the duration of disciplinary proceedings may be extended for a period equal to the period of absence of the prosecutor.
In cases provided for by points 1 and 2 of part 1 of Article 47 of this Law a disciplinary penalty shall be imposed by the person having instituted the disciplinary proceedings within a period of three days after the end of disciplinary proceedings.
In cases provided for by part 7 of Article 47 of this Law the Prosecutor General shall, within a period of one week after the end of disciplinary proceedings, present the matter to the Ethics Commission for discussion. When considering the matter with respect to the disciplinary violation, the Ethics Commission shall determine, through voting, the fact of existence of a disciplinary violation, the prosecutor’s fault in the violation, and, if the Prosecutor General so requests, also the possibility of applying the disciplinary penalty of “removal from office.” The Prosecutor General shall impose a disciplinary penalty within a period of three days on the basis of relevant opinion of the Ethics Commission.
The prosecutor shall be informed of the disciplinary penalty not later than within three days after the imposition of a disciplinary penalty.
Only one disciplinary penalty may be imposed on a prosecutor within the framework of a single disciplinary proceeding, even where the same prosecutor has committed several disciplinary violations.
The prosecutor shall be considered as free from a disciplinary penalty, where a new disciplinary penalty has not been imposed on him/her within one year after the day of imposition of the disciplinary penalty concerned.
The prosecutor shall have the right to appeal against the disciplinary penalty imposed on him/her in the court in the manner prescribed by law.
