Abstract

The decision to give a person the status of the accused can be characterized as a key point of the preliminary investigation of a criminal case. The author of the article makes an
attempt to analyze the nature and significance of the conditions, grounds and procedure for giving a person the criminal procedure status of the accused. Observance of the conditions, as well as the
procedural order of accusation in case there are grounds for making a decision to give a person the criminal procedure status of the accused by a person conducting a preliminary investigation of a criminal
case, is a guarantee of achieving the goals of the criminal process. Despite the stability of the legal norms that constitute the institution of giving a person the criminal procedure status of the accused,
it is characterized by gaps that negatively affect the implementation of the rights of the accused. Besides, violation of the procedure for bringing charges against the person, established by the Criminal
Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, may lead to the situation when the course and results of the preliminary investigation, as well as the subsequent trial, can be recognized as illegal. As a result of
the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve the legal regulation of the procedure for giving a person the criminal procedure status of the accused in the
domestic criminal process
