Summary/Abstract: The palpable politicization of the media image of the prosecution and in particular of the chief prosecutors at the dawn of the new millennium, with gradual and rising rates in recent years, has deepened the crisis on the sensitive issue of judicial independence. It also highlights the actual division of the three official powers and provokes speculation and speculation about the existence of hidden puppet masters in the political and prosecutorial guilds. One of the hypotheses that emerge is that the format of the state prosecution as a single and centralized structure in which all prosecutors are subordinate to the chief largely shapes the perception that the institution can acquire the image of its head. Another hypothesis is that the unalterable election of a prosecutor general, nominated by political circles as the only candidate without other candidates and voted unanimously or by a significant majority, contributes to a clear politicization of the magistracy.
