The Justice Ministry has published a call for candidates for director of the Police Internal Investigations Unit, which will operate as an independent body under the ministry's administrative oversight. Candidates must have senior legal experience, criminal law background, and management of at least 13 employees; the term is six years.
The Justice Ministry announced on Sunday the opening of a search for the new director of the Police Internal Investigations Unit (PIU), which will be restructured as an independent body administratively subordinate to the ministry's director general. The move follows a long-running debate over the unit's independence and effectiveness in investigating allegations of police misconduct. Candidates must hold senior legal experience, a background in criminal law, and experience managing at least 13 employees. The appointment will be for a single six-year term, with no immediate word on a timeline for the selection process. No prior reporting on this thread by The Zioneer.
