The article discusses the shortcomings of the legal regulation of the preliminary investigation and termination of criminal cases with the appointment of a judicial fine. The authors believe that at the stage of preliminary investigation, the investigator/inquirer submits a petition to dismiss the case with the imposition of a court fine to the court is their right, not their obligation. Based on the analysis of scientific discussions and the results of a survey of investigators and prosecutors, the authors propose ways to improve the provisions of Chapter 51.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in the form of strengthening prosecutorial supervision over the investigation of criminal cases subject to termination with the imposition of a judicial fine.
