Annotation: The study analyses the reasons for the insufficient effectiveness of prosecutorial supervision during the preliminary investigation - with an in-depth analysis of the supervision of the preliminary investigation of corruption-related official crimes. The author proposes a comprehensive approach to the implementation of measures to improve the effectiveness of prosecutorial supervision, a large-scale digital transformation of the activities of the prosecutor’s office and law enforcement agencies and strengthening work on the prevention of violations of preliminary investigation bodies. It seems advisable to extrapolate on the prosecutor’s supervision the latest experience of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, which has introduced a risk-based approach and assessment of corruption risks when conducting inspections of objects of control (audit). Within the framework of a risk-based approach, the author proposes to rank violations identified during prosecutorial supervision by four risk categories. The assessment of corruption risks of objects of prosecutor’s supervision involves the formation of indicators of corruption risks. Using these indicators, coupled with risk categories, it will be possible to strengthen control and automate the monitoring of law enforcement, primarily in relation to those investigators who have violations of the highest risk categories. The analysis and assessment of corruption risks during prosecutor’s supervision of corruption-related official crimes will serve as an effective tool for detecting violations by the preliminary investigation bodies.
Keywords: prosecutor’s supervision, digital transformation, preliminary investigation, corruption-related official crimes, risk-based approach, assessment of corruption risks, prevention of violations.
