The author analyses the situations in which the existing methods of interpreting legal norms do not make it possible to find an appropriate solution in the functions of the prosecutor’s office implementation. The study notes the inconsistency of certain provisions of the Federal Law with the constitutional framework for regulating the organization and activities of the prosecutor’s office.
