We have a different juridical system alltogether, here indeed the judge is the head of the investigation (he "instructs" the investigation).Where are you from that judges decide what is an isn't an accident? What was and wasn't preventable? Where I am from, investigative services do this, process evidence and submit it to the DA. From there, the investigative service recommends prosecution or not and the DA typically follows that recommendation.
For those interested, I posted a lengthy article about the role of the investigative judge in the southern European legal systems that stem from the Code Napoleon versus the anglosaxon ones in another forum in 2008 (discussion of the different legal systems follows up my post): http://www.airdisaster.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1220&p=21049#p21012
