TOPICAL ISSUES OF IMPROVEMENT OF THE INSTITUTE OF PROCEDURAL PROSECUTORS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The article examines the institution of a procedural prosecutor in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, introduced in 2014. The main focus is on combining the functions of the prosecutor overseeing the legality of criminal prosecution and the public prosecutor in the court of first instance. The work draws analogies with the traditional practice of pre-trial proceedings in Soviet times, where the prosecutor supervised, but did not have the functions of the prosecution. The article also compares the models of organization of prosecutor's offices in the countries of the European Union, emphasizing the differences in their functional responsibilities and powers. The recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the role of the Prosecutor's Office in the criminal justice system are considered in the context of ensuring legal protection and the effectiveness of pre-trial proceedings. The author emphasises that the European experience has been integrated into the criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, based on the best practices of Germany in the field of prosecutorial activity.
