What is the difference between 検事 and 検察官?


I found the same translation for **検察官** and **検事** : "public prosecutor". But
I guess there is a reason for the two words to exist. Is one of them more
formal ?




検察官 is "public prosecutor". 検事 is the name of a position of a public
prosecutor. Their job descriptions are 「検事総長」,「次長検事」,「検事長」,「検事」,「副検事」sort by
highest in rank to lowest.
