Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, with a history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. It later became a significant part of the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and an Italian colony, which is reflected in its diverse architecture, such as the historic Medina and the Red Castle (Assai al-Hamra).
Turkey
Turkey is a transcontinental nation bridging Europe and Asia, with a rich history rooted in the ancient civilizations of Anatolia and later as the heart of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Its modern identity was forged in 1923 as the Republic of Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The country is renowned for its diverse cultural heritage, featuring iconic sites like Hagia Sophia, the ruins of Ephesus, and the unique landscapes of Cappadocia.
Germany
Germany is a country in Central Europe with a complex history, having been a collection of states for centuries before unifying in 1871. It was a central power in both World Wars, was divided into East and West Germany during the Cold War, and reunified in 1990. Today, it is a leading economic and political force in the European Union, known for its rich cultural heritage in philosophy, music, and science.
Ministry of Interior
The Ministry of the Interior is a key government department in many countries, typically responsible for internal affairs such as public safety, civil registration, and domestic policy. Historically, such ministries were established to consolidate state control over police, emergency services, and national administration, often evolving from older offices like the “Home Office” in the United Kingdom, founded in 1782.
Turkish Gendarmerie
The Turkish Gendarmerie is a military law enforcement body responsible for maintaining public order in areas outside municipal boundaries. Historically, it was founded in the Ottoman Empire in 1839 as a modernized security force and today operates under the jurisdiction of the Turkish Ministry of Interior during peacetime and the Ministry of National Defense in wartime.
Turkish Public Prosecutor
The Turkish Public Prosecutor is a key judicial official responsible for conducting criminal investigations and prosecuting cases on behalf of the state. The role is rooted in the legal traditions of the Ottoman Empire and was formally structured under the Republic of Turkey, with its powers and duties defined by the constitution and codes of criminal procedure.
Libyan Public Prosecutor
The Libyan Public Prosecutor’s Office is a key judicial institution responsible for criminal prosecution and overseeing judicial police. Its modern structure was largely established under the Libyan monarchy in the 1950s, following earlier Italian colonial legal frameworks. Its role and independence have been significantly challenged and reshaped by the political instability following the 2011 revolution.
Criminal Investigation Department
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is a specialized branch within many police forces, notably the British police, dedicated to investigating serious and complex crimes. It was formally established in the UK in 1878, drawing on the model of the detective branch formed by the Metropolitan Police in 1842, to address the need for professional, plain-clothes detective work. Its primary function is to conduct inquiries into offenses such as murder, fraud, and organized crime, separate from uniformed patrol officers.
