Scotland has its own "can opener" bridge

Translation from Scots:

England- Crown prosecutor
American- District attorney

Edit- just to add- the phrase “A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.” is a common line in news reports, that simply means “The person mentioned has been charged with a crime, and the Procurator Fiscal must now decide whether to prosecute the case”

It’s a common yet precisely worded bit of legalease which describes the current state of legal proceedings without libelling anyone.
