Article 37 of Judicial Organisation Law

Except in cases of flagrante delicto, no investigative measure or arrest may be undertaken, nor may criminal proceedings be instituted against a judge or against the Public Prosecution for a felony or misdemeanour, without permission from the Supreme Judicial Council upon the request of the Public Prosecutor. In cases of flagrante delicto, the Public Prosecutor must, upon the arrest or detention of a judge or a member of the Public Prosecution, submit the matter to the Supreme Judicial Council within twenty-four hours for it to decide as it sees fit in this regard. The judge or member of the Public Prosecution may request that his statements be heard before the Council in this case. The Public Prosecution alone shall exercise the authority to investigate, dispose of cases and prosecute in respect of felonies and misdemeanours committed by or against a judge or a member of the Public Prosecution.
