Abstract

Verification of a crime report is a very important step in the criminal case in the future. However, the regulation of procedural legislation on the participation of an interpreter at this stage is rather weak. In practice, an interpreter is invited if the applicant, the person against whom the crime report is being checked, and in some cases other participants in the check do not speak the language of the proceedings. The current criminal procedure legislation does not regulate the procedural powers of an interpreter when considering a crime report. As a result, it is not possible to fully protect the procedural rights of individual participants in the pre-investigation check. With this in mind, the authors of the work conclude that there is a need for procedural regulation of the translator's participation in verifying a crime report and synchronizing the prescriptions of procedural and non-procedural legislation.
