Public prosecutor (FIA Act)
Who can be deemed to be a public prosecutor under the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Act?
Explanation and memory cue
Under the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Act 1974, the agency's prosecution authority includes legal officers such as Assistant Director Legal and Deputy Director Law. Both these positions have prosecutorial powers and can be deemed public prosecutors under the FIA Act. The Deputy Director Law generally oversees prosecution work and represents the FIA in courts, while the Assistant Director Legal is a senior legal officer rank. Therefore, both Assistant Director Legal and Deputy Director Law can be deemed public prosecutors, making option C correct.
