Abstract
Introduction: the article analyzes the prospects of reforming criminal proceedings into a high-tech model. Factors that make such a transformation difficult are highlighted. The most significant of these are shortcomings in the legal regulation of information handling in pre-trial proceedings. The article justifies the need to eliminate such shortcomings by improving the system of principles and general conditions of criminal proceedings. The proposed concept includes the introduction of the notion ‘procedurally significant information’, the principle of ‘information protection in criminal proceedings’, the general condition of a preliminary investigation ‘Measures to ensure the protection of procedurally significant information in pre-trial proceedings carried out in digital form’; certain provisions of the condition ‘Inadmissibility of disclosing the pre-trial investigation data’ (Article 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) are improved; the prospects of creating a high-tech model of criminal procedure are presented. Purpose: to propose measures aimed at improving the efficiency of the criminal procedure regime of information handling; to develop a universal mechanism for protecting pre-trial data; to propose theoreticallegal and applied solutions for the transformation of criminal procedural activities into a digital model. Methods: general philosophical method (dialectics); general scientific methods: logical (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and functional; special scientific methods (comparative-legal, technical-legal, modeling). Results: the paper develops proposals for improving the legal regulation of information handling in pre-trial proceedings; declares the concept of improving the system of conceptions, principles of judicial proceedings, and general conditions of a preliminary investigation; outlines a conceptual model of a high-tech state information system serving criminal procedural activities in digital pre-trial proceedings on the platform of an experimental version of a software-hardware complex under the working title SleD. Conclusions: the upcoming prospects of the digital transformation of criminal proceedings determine the need to streamline legal relations concerning the handling of the pre-trial stage data. The list of data not subject to disclosure is determined by the circumstances of the case, but always meets the requirements of the information protection principle, of the proposed conditions of a preliminary investigation, and the concept of procedurally significant information. The unified procedure of information handling will provide a stable basis for creating effective high-tech criminal proceedings.
