Day of the employee of the prosecutor's office

January 12, Friday

Prosecutor's Day is a professional holiday celebrated in various countries to recognize the importance of the work of prosecutors. In Russia, this day is celebrated annually on January 12. The date is associated with a historical event - the establishment of the institution of the prosecutor's office in the Russian Empire.

The holiday was established by decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 1996 and is timed to coincide with the day of the establishment of the prosecutor's office in Russia. On January 12, 1722, Emperor Peter I established the position of Prosecutor General, which marked the beginning of the creation of a unified system of supervisory bodies in the country. The main goal of the new structure was to ensure compliance with laws and combat corruption in government.
