The Central Anticorruption Service (Amathian: Ⱄⰵⱃⰲⰹⱌⰹⱆⰾ Ⰽⰵⱀⱅⱃⰰⰾ Ⰰⱀⱅⰹⰽⱁⱃⱆⱂⱌⰹⰵ, tr. Serviciul Central Anticorupţie), abbreviated as the S.C.A. (Ⱄ.Ⰽ.Ⰰ) is an Amathian specialised prosecution office created as an autonomous institution that investigates and prosecutes all high corruption-related offences in the Amathian Democratic Republic. It was created in 1985 by an emergency ordinance of the Amathian Government at the recommendation of the Euclean Community,in order to properly organise the legal fight against the political corruption that had started to plague the country in its transition towards democracy. The S.C.A. quickly became one of the most professional and effective anti-corruption structures in Euclea, praised for its impartiality and transparency, and is considered to have been crucial in the decreased corruption rate that Amathia has experienced ever since the 1990's.
The S.C.A. is an autonomous organisation that works under the High Court of Justice and Cassation, led by a High Prosecutor that is selected by the Minister of Justice, confirmed by the High Council of Magistracy and approved with a majority vote of the Presidency. In terms of its structure, the S.C.A. is divided into a central structure, territorial structures in each of Amathia's constituent republics, regional offices attached to the Court of Appeals and county offices attached to the county courts.
