CRIMINAL PROCEDURE TO ELIMINATE THE REASONS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ON SECURITY MEASURES OF PARTICIPANTS IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS (ART. 73, PARA. 2, OF THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION)

Abstract

The implementation of the set of protective measures provided for by Russian law against participants in criminal proceedings can be seen not only in the pre-trial proceedings in criminal proceedings, but also during the judicial stages. At the same time, confidentiality of all activities of this complex mechanism of personal security is important. Activities to eliminate the circumstances that have contributed to the criminal disclosure of security measures will increase the security of the person in criminal proceedings and the execution of the appointment of criminal proceedings in general. The investigation of criminal cases of disclosure of information on security measures of participants in criminal proceedings, in our opinion, should be accompanied by a prerequisite for establishing the circumstances that contributed to the disclosure of such information. Such a duty to establish circumstances should be placed both on the investigator (art. 158, para. 2, of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation) and on the court (judge) (art. 29, para. 4, of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation), with appropriate amendments and additions to legal regulations.
