The position of the Prosecutor's Office which is institutionally under the executive power but carrying out the duties and functions that are part of the judicial authority clearly raises a problem of its own in the world of law enforcement. The prosecutor's office as a law enforcement officer in the prosecution field is required to be fair and objective and independent in faithfully carrying out his duties and authorities, but placing the prosecutor's position as a government institution under the executive very vulnerable from power intervention. This condition is very dilemmatic to support the attorney's performance in carrying out his functions and authority.
