Arranging Public Prosecutor’s Supervision over Execution of Laws by the Authorities Conducting Investigative Activities, and the Limits of its Implementation

Abstract

The article highlights the objective relationship between investigation and criminal procedure and, as a consequence, the inadvisability of individualization of public prosecutor's supervision over execution of laws by the authorities conducting investigative activities as an independent branch of the public prosecutor's supervision. On the basis of an analysis of the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal laws and departmental normative legal acts, the author reveals the specifics of arranging public prosecutor's supervision over investigative activities, and justifies the necessity of such an arrangement. The article indicates the imperfection of legislative regulation of the implementation issues of public prosecutor's supervision over investigative activities. The author justifies the position that supervision over the execution of departmental normative legal acts by the authorities carrying out investigative activities, which contain provisions relating to the restriction of the constitutional rights of citizens, is part of the subject of public prosecutor's supervision over investigative activities.
