The prosecution of the case and the prosecution of the accused are important and indispensable steps in the process of solving a criminal case. In fact, these two concepts are very confusing, leading to the inability to determine the time and the provisions of the law in the process of conducting the criminal procedure.

Prosecution of a case is an independent procedural stage, initiating investigative activities. During this stage, the prosecuting authority conducts activities to identify signs of crime. The object of prosecution of this stage is the act with signs of crime

Prosecution of the accused is an important procedural act whereby the competent authority, usually the investigating agency, after conducting a number of investigative activities, has sufficient grounds to identify a person or an individual commits a crime. The object of prosecution is a person or legal entity with signs of crime.
