Police Authorities of the Russian Guard in Personal Jurisdiction of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation

Officials of the Rosgvardia police are not mentioned in paragraphs “c” of paragraph 1 of part 2 of article 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation among law enforcement officials included in the personal form of investigation of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (IC of Russia). The investigative practice of the territorial (linear) bodies of the Investigative Committee of Russia follows the path of initiating and investigating criminal cases in the discovery of crimes committed against Rosgvardia police officers in connection with the performance of their official duties, or crimes committed against Rosgvardia police officers in connection with the performance of their official activities. This investigative practice of the bodies of the Investigative Committee of Russia, in our opinion, does not contradict the current criminal procedure legislation and needs regulatory consolidation. It seems expedient to include the police of the Russian Guard in paragraphs “c” of paragraph 1 of part 2 of article 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and to expand the personal type of investigation of the investigator of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
