The following provisions apply when a family court refers a case to a public prosecutor, pursuant to the provisions of Article 20, paragraph (1):
家庭裁判所が、第二十条第一項の規定によつて事件を検察官に送致したときは、次の例による。
unless the juvenile is referred to a family court again, the measures prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1), item (i) becomes ineffective if no prosecution is instituted within ten days of the referral of the case to the public prosecutor. If the prosecution is instituted, the court, by its own authority or by request from a public prosecutor, may revoke the measures at any time;
第十七条第一項第一号の措置は、その少年の事件が再び家庭裁判所に送致された場合を除いて、検察官が事件の送致を受けた日から十日以内に公訴が提起されないときは、その効力を失う。公訴が提起されたときは、裁判所は、検察官の請求により、又は職権をもつて、いつでも、これを取り消すことができる。
if a detention warrant is issued in the course of the measure prescribed in the preceding item, the measure becomes ineffective by this;
前号の措置の継続中、勾留状が発せられたときは、その措置は、これによつて、その効力を失う。
the measure prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1), item (ii) is deemed as detention conducted by a judge, and its period begins from the day of referral to a public prosecutor. In this case, this period may not be extended if a detention warrant has already been issued for the case;
第十七条第一項第二号の措置は、これを裁判官のした勾留とみなし、その期間は、検察官が事件の送致を受けた日から、これを起算する。この場合において、その事件が先に勾留状の発せられた事件であるときは、この期間は、これを延長することができない。
if the public prosecutor deems that there is enough suspicion of a crime to institute a prosecution for a case referred to them by a family court, they must institute a prosecution; provided, however, that this does not apply where suspicion of a crime is not sufficient enough to institute a prosecution in part of the referred case, or a new fact that can affect the circumstances of the crime etc. is found, so that prosecution is considered inappropriate. This also applies to when prosecution is considered inappropriate due to the circumstances after the referral;
検察官は、家庭裁判所から送致を受けた事件について、公訴を提起するに足りる犯罪の嫌疑があると思料するときは、公訴を提起しなければならない。ただし、送致を受けた事件の一部について公訴を提起するに足りる犯罪の嫌疑がないか、又は犯罪の情状等に影響を及ぼすべき新たな事情を発見したため、訴追を相当でないと思料するときは、この限りでない。送致後の情況により訴追を相当でないと思料するときも、同様である。
the attendant who is an attorney-at-law appointed pursuant to the provisions of Article 10, paragraph (1) is deemed to be the defense counsel;
第十条第一項の規定により選任された弁護士である付添人は、これを弁護人とみなす。
if the measures prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1), item (ii) are deemed as detention, conducted by a judge pursuant to the provisions of item (iv), a detention warrant is deemed as having been issued and the provisions in the Code of Criminal Procedure for appointment of a defense counsel for the suspect by a judge apply to the case.
第四号の規定により第十七条第一項第二号の措置が裁判官のした勾留とみなされた場合には、勾留状が発せられているものとみなして、刑事訴訟法中、裁判官による被疑者についての弁護人の選任に関する規定を適用する。

Defined inArticle 2, paragraph (1)· applies throughout the law
public prosecutor
検察官
The official who brings a prosecution (公訴) for a crime before a court (Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 247), and who may decide not to prosecute where, in view of the offender's character, age and circumstances, the gravity and circumstances of the offence and what happened after it, prosecution is not needed (Article 248). In criminal cases a public prosecutor asks the court to apply the law correctly and oversees the carrying out of its judgments; and, as the representative of the public interest, a public prosecutor also does the work other laws and regulations assign to a public prosecutor, which is not limited to criminal cases (Public Prosecutors Office Act, Article 4). A public prosecutor may investigate any crime (Article 6, paragraph (1)). Public prosecutors work through the public prosecutors offices (検察庁): the Supreme, High, District and Local Public Prosecutors Offices (Article 1).
