Abstract

The article discusses certain aspects of criminal law aimed at ensuring the powers of officials of the preliminary investigation bodies. In particular, arguments are given about the need to consolidate in the criminal law responsibility not only for illegal acts related to obstructing a full, objective and comprehensive investigation conducted by investigators and interrogators, but also obstructing the procedural activities of the head of the investigative body, the head of the body of inquiry and the head of the unit of inquiry. It is also substantiated that the acts in question are subject to criminalization if they are committed at the entire stage of pre-trial proceedings.
