Control of terms in pre-trial investigation

Straipsnyje analizuojama BPK numatyta naujovė – ikiteisminio tyrimo terminai bei tinkamas jų įgyvendinimas. Šiuo metu BPK bei poįstatyminiuose teisės aktuose numatyta ikiteisminio tyrimo terminų sistema, nors iš pirmo žvilgsnio atrodo paprasta, tačiau ikiteisminį tyrimą atliekantiems bei jam vadovaujantiems pareigūnams atsiranda aibė klausimų, susijusių su šių terminų taikymu konkrečiais probleminiais atvejais. Šiame straipsnyje šie konkretūs atvejai yra apžvelgiami ir nurodomi galimi probleminių atvejų sprendimo būdai. Kadangi šis, ikiteisminio tyrimo terminų institutas yra pakankamai naujas ir netyrinėtas, praktikos šiuo klausimu nėra daug.The article analyzes the innovation in the pre-trial investigation - control of terms and proper implementation of terms.

For example, it is suggested to pre-trial investigations, which are published in the search of the suspect, no pre-trial period. Also if, within six months after the first interview of the suspect pre-trial investigation is not completed, the suspect, his advocate may refer the complaint to the pre - trial investigation judge for the termination of the pre-trial
