Abstract

 The article is devoted to the most important problems that arise in the activities of law enforcement agencies when carrying out the summary form of inquiry. Basing on the analysis of the criminal Procedure code of the Russian Federation, the authors come to the conclusion that these problems are caused by the imperfection of the legislative regulation of the considered procedural institution. one of the means of solving these problems is prosecutor’s supervision, since in domestic criminal procedure the prosecutor is empowered not only to prosecute criminally on behalf of the state, but also to supervise the procedural activities of the bodies of inquiry and preliminary investigation. The peculiarities of the prosecutor’s supervision over carrying out the inquiry in a reduced formare analyzed in the article. The authors of the article refer both to the norms of the current criminal procedure legislation and to the provisions of the order of the general Prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation of January 26, 2017 no 33 “on the organization of the prosecutor’s supervision over the procedural activities of the inquiry bodies”. The need for a significant change of the existing criminal procedure legislationis argued, namely, granting the prosecutor the right to independently draw up the final procedural document of the summary form of inquiry – the indictment.
