What does it mean to directly prosecute criminal detention?

Legal analysis: Direct prosecution of criminal detention, also known as direct criminal litigation mechanism, is a means to quickly try and deal with criminal cases. To put it simply, the judicial organs complete investigation, prosecution and trial within the detention period, and implement centralized transfer, centralized prosecution and centralized trial to promote the rapid flow of investigation, prosecution and trial. Simplify the whole process and promote the seamless docking and cooperation among public security organs, procuratorial organs and courts. The direct prosecution mechanism of criminal detention is a reform measure to break through the original criminal procedure thinking and optimize the criminal procedure system, which is helpful to save judicial resources, realize efficiency and reduce burden.

Legal basis: Article 91 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the public security organ deems it necessary to arrest the detained person, it shall submit it to the people's procuratorate for examination and approval within three days after detention. Under special circumstances, the approval time can be extended by one to four days. For major suspects who commit crimes on the run, commit crimes many times or commit crimes in collusion, the time for submitting for examination and approval may be extended to 30 days. The people's procuratorate shall, within seven days after receiving the approval letter from the public security organ, make a decision on whether to approve or disapprove the arrest. If the people's procuratorate does not approve the arrest, the public security organ shall immediately release it after receiving the notice and promptly notify the people's procuratorate to execute it. Those who need to continue the investigation and meet the conditions of obtaining a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance shall be granted a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance according to law.
