The further development strategy of the Georgian prosecutor’s office was discussed on Tuesday by the prosecutor general Irakli Shotadze and King’s counsel Max Hill, the director of public prosecutions of England and Wales, within the framework of the 27th annual conference of the International Association of Prosecutors in Tbilisi.
