Prosecutor's control of the legality of the criminal investigation

The examination of complaints by the prosecutor, submitted by the parties and other persons alleging violation of their rights in criminal proceedings, is an important form of control for the detection and prevention of violations of law and errors committed by criminal prosecutors and those exercising operative investigation activities. Any action or inaction may be challenged, first, before the prosecutor or, as the case may be, before the hierarchically superior prosecutor within fifteen days from the date on which the act became known. In the event that the person does not agree with the answer provided by the prosecutor, he may challenge it before the investigating judge, within ten days from the notification of the act. The examination of complaints by the prosecutor, to which can address not only the accused, the defense counsel and the injured party, but also other persons who claim that their rights have been violated, is an important form of control for detecting and preventing law violations and errors committed by the criminal investigation bodies and those exercising the operative activity of investigations
