Public Prosecutor’s Supervision in Criminal Proceedings in the context of Digital Relations Development

The paper is devoted to the digital transformation in the Russian prosecution authorities and the transition to high-tech supervision of the prosecutor amid the development of digital relations, which will lead to an increase in the prosecutors’ efficiency in ensuring the legality of the proceedings of the preliminary investigation and inquiry bodies. The results of the study reflect current trends in the development of digital relations, confirm the need for digital transformation of the prosecutor’s office and determine its vector, aimed at the transition of work from paper to a single interdepartmental digital online platform. The future optimization of the activities of the prosecutor in criminal proceedings is associated with the widespread use of digital technologies, which requires a comprehensive study of the issues of the possibility of using specific technological solutions and their security. In general, the improvement of the prosecutor’s supervision is impossible without its integration with information technologies. Otherwise, ignoring technological progress and not using modern digital achievements in the criminal process is fraught with its stagnation and archaism, which is unacceptable for law.
