Procedural Peculiarities of Evidence during Short-form Inquest

The article discusses certain norms of Chapter 32.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, which regulate the procedural features of evidence during short-form inquest, as well as their interdependence with the basis and conditions of an inquiry carried out in the manner determined by chapter 32.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. The aim of the presented article is to point out the existence of contradictions in the criminal procedure law, which are contained in Article 226.5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and which create gaps in the subject and limits of evidence in the investigation of criminal cases in the short-form inquest, as well as to indicate the reason for these contradictions. The conclusion that was made in this article states that there is the need for scientific analysis aimed at the formation of proposals that contribute to the elimination of contradictions in the criminal procedure law, between the general subject and limits of evidence, and the subject and limits of evidence established in Chapter 32.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation with the purpose of creating regulatory and legal conditions conducive to the adaptation and development of short-form inquest.
