Peculiarities of Statutory Framework for Criminal Proceedings Conducted by an Investigative Group under the Legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus

The paper examines the features of the procedural order of statutory framework of the preliminary investigation conducted by the investigation group under the criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. It has been determined that the statutory framework for the formation and activities of investigative groups in criminal proceedings of the Republic of Belarus is governed by the national criminal procedure law, which at the same time determines the grounds for assigning the conduct of a preliminary investigation to an investigative group, as well as the procedure for its activities. In addition, it has been established that the role of the prosecutor in the matter of procedural interaction with members of the investigative team in Belarusian criminal proceedings is significantly broader than in Russian criminal proceedings, where the competence and powers of the prosecutor in pre-trial proceedings are maximally limited. At the same time, the specifics of the formation of an investigative and operational group in criminal proceedings in the Republic of Belarus were determined.
