PARTICIPATION OF THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A MINOR SUSPECT, THE ACCUSED, IN INVESTIGATIVE PROCEDURES MADE ON THE JUDGMENT

Abstract

This article is concerned with the problems of participation of the
legal representative of a minor suspect, the accused. The main focus is on the guarantee
of legal representative's rights during investigative procedures in dwelling
(incident location survey, search and seizure).
The participation of legal representative in the specified investigative procedures
is a little bit limited due to objective and subjective factors. The majority
of the specified procedures demand suddenness, and the investigator does not inform
the legal representative of a minor suspect, the accused, of the court decision
about the procedure. According to item 426 CPC of the Russian Federation the
legal representative has an unequivocal opportunity to participate only in the in-
terrogation of the minor suspect, the accused, other investigative actions require
the sanction of the investigator.
