Evolution of the Institution of Judicial Control over Pre-Trial Proceedings in the Republic of Moldova

Judicial control is understood as control over the compliance of the activities and decisions of law
enforcement agencies and officials with the requirements established by law. The legal procedure for exercising
judicial control in the Russian Federation has been criticized. Since 2015, Russia has seen intensification of a discussion
about the establishment of a special subject, namely an investigating judge who would exercise judicial control
over pre-trial proceedings. Some states have experience in exercising judicial control over pre-trial proceedings by
investigating judges. One of these states is the Republic of Moldova. The paper presents the results of the study
of the regulatory model of the institution of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings in the Republic of Moldova.
The purpose of the work is to study the evolution of the institution of judicial control in the Republic of Moldova. To
achieve the formulated goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: 1) to determine the concept and appointment
of a judge for criminal prosecution; 2) to highlight the stages of development of judicial control over pre-trial
proceedings in Moldova; 3) to designate the range of basic powers of a judge in criminal prosecution. Historicaldiachronic, logical-dogmatic and comparative-legal methods are used in the research. An analysis of the regulatory
provisions concerning the implementation of judicial control over pre-trial proceedings allows us to conclude that
it is sufficiently elaborated in the criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Moldova. The advantages of the
institution under study are: the establishment of a special entity exercising judicial control over pre-trial proceedings;
systemic regulation of his powers; lack of duplication of norms; consistent adjustment of the institution.
