DEFORMALIZATION OF THE INITIATION OF CRIMINAL PROSECUTION - A FEW COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT OF THE NEW CRIMINAL CODE

Abstract

This paper reflects on one of the proposed partial changes within the ongoing recodification of criminal procedural law, namely the formalisation of the pre-trial procedure. It draws attention to possible pitfalls of the changes under consideration.

The author considers the solution under consideration to be incorrect and recommends that the current concept and nature of the initiation of criminal proceedings be maintained.
