The Public Prosecution Service〔This is the English translation used by the ''Openbaar Ministerie'' itself. 〕 (Dutch: ''Openbaar Ministerie'', OM) is the body of public prosecutors in the Dutch criminal justice system. The literal translation of ''Openbaar Ministerie'', "Public Ministry", can lead to a misunderstanding, as the OM is not a ministry like the Ministry of Finance. The Public Prosecution Service decides who has to appear in front of the judge and for which offence or crime. It is the body that can decide to prosecute someone. The main domain of the OM is criminal law rather than civil law. The OM has ten regional offices, directed nationally by the ''College van Procureurs-Generaal'' in The Hague. The OM is ultimately responsible to the Minister of Safety and Justice (''Minister van Veiligheid en Justitie''), who, together with the ''College'', determines the priorities and organisation of the Service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OM: Organisatie )〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Openbaar Ministerie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
