On Some Issues of Interaction between Operational Units of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and Investigators (Interrogators) at the Stage of the Criminal Case Initiation
The article discusses certain procedural and organizational forms of interaction between employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service and interrogators and investigators when considering reports of crimes committed in correctional facilities. The Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia is a specific body of inquiry, since it does not have its own jurisdiction and, accordingly, is not entitled to investigate criminal cases in the form of an inquiry. At the same time, crimes are committed in penal institutions, and both operatives of operational units for subsequent transfer to the investigation bodies, as well as interrogators and investigators of other law enforcement agencies, whose jurisdiction includes the initiation of a criminal case and its investigation, can verify reports of a crime. In both cases, the interaction of these subjects is required to effectively achieve the goals of criminal proceedings.
