FEATURES OF COURT QUESTIONING OF PROTECTED PERSONS IN CRIMINAL CASE UNDER SECURITY CONDITIONS
Ensuring the safety of participants in criminal proceedings in modern Russian legislation is regulated by various sectoral acts, which together form a sufficient system of legal means to increase the effectiveness of the evidentiary process and fulfill the purpose of criminal proceedings. The list of measures of criminal procedure safety established in part 3 of article 11 to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation includes two measures: the closed court session (paragraph 4 of part 2 of article 241 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) and conducting interrogation in court session without announcement of original data interrogated and in the conditions of excluding his visual observation by other attendees in the courtroom (part 5 of article 278 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation). As shown by law enforcement activity, interrogation in court under these conditions causes certain problems, as evidenced by its extremely rare use. In this regard, in our opinion, the legal regulation of the content of part 5 of art. 278 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation needs to be analyzed and improved.
