Вісник кримінального судочинства(1), 44–49.https://ir.library.knu.ua/handle/15071834/24104An article analyzes the correlation between pre-trial investigation and operative and search activitiesin a new paradigm of criminal prosecution. In particular, attention is drawn to the fact thatthe practical implementation of the investigative units of the institute of secret investigative (search)actions have led to fundamental transformation in the work of investigators. It was determined thatthe legislative changes have led to the development of scientific debates about the place and role ofoperative and search activities during pre-trial investigation. Special attention is paid to the shortcomingsof legal regulation and lack of statutory limits upon completion of operative and search activities.The article analyzes some norms of the legislation, a literal interpretation of which suggests thatthe beginning of pre-trial investigation is not a legal basis for the cessation of operative and searchactivities. Implementation of it is possible after the start of pre-trial investigation. As well, attentionis drawn to the fact that, in accordance with the norms of the normative legal acts, which detail thelegislation, the powers of the employees of operational units during the pre-trial investigation is muchwider than it is enshrined in the procedural legislation. The necessity of depriving the investigatorof the authority for the establishment of a confidential cooperation with citizens in the framework ofpre-trial investigation is proved.It was noted the need to expand the statutory powers of operational units during the pre-trialinvestigation, including during the execution of the instructions of the investigator to conduct secretinvestigative (search) actions. Possible models for the further development of operative and searchlegislation and for the implementation of some of its provisions into the structure of the procedurallaw are definedУ статті проаналізовано існуючі проблеми участі оперативних підрозділів у досудовомурозслідуванні.
