What does it mean to be in the procuratorate?

In the process of investigation, if the public security organ deems it necessary to arrest the criminal suspect, it shall make a decision to approve the arrest and submit it to the people's procuratorate for examination and approval together with the case materials and evidence. The procuratorate makes corresponding decisions according to the trial results organized by the public security organs. Arrest and prosecution will directly enter the trial procedure, and cases sent back for retrial or withdrawn will be handled separately, that is, the public security organs will handle them according to other laws and regulations.
