Serviciul Central de Investigare a Infracțiunilor de Criminalitate Organizată și Terorism), abbreviated as the S.C.I.I.C.O.T. (Ⱄ.Ⰽ.Ⰹ.Ⰹ.Ⰽ.Ⱁ.Ⱅ) is an Amathian specialised and autonomous prosecution office created in order to investigate and prosecute offenses of terrorism and organized crime, and also in order to prevent such offenses from taking place.
The S.C.I.I.C.O.T. is autonomous but subordinated to the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Central Court of Justice and Cassation, and it is similar in structure to the S.C.A., being organized into a central structure based in Arciluco, and a territorial structure in each of the constituent republics, following the same pattern of regional offices near the appellate courts, and local offices near the county courts.
The service is led by a High Prosecutor that is proposed by the Ministry of Justice to the Central Council of Magistracy. After earning the Council's approval, the High Prosecutor must then be confirmed by a majority vote in the Presidency.
