Abstract:
У статті зроблено висновок, що положення Кримінального процесуального кодексу
України (далі – КПК України) не зобов’язують прокурора, який підтримує обвинувачення в суді
першої інстанції, надсилати до суду разом із обвинувальним актом усі матеріали досудового
розслідування. Водночас відсутність у суді цих матеріалів впливає на швидкість та об’єктивність
встановлення обставин кримінального правопорушення, дослідження доказів, прийняття
законного та справедливого судового рішення. Цей недолік слід коригувати внесенням змін та
доповнень до кримінального процесуального законодавства України. The article concludes that
the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine do not oblige the prosecutor, who supports the
accusation in the court of first instance, to send to the court together with the indictment, the petition for
the release of a person from criminal responsibility, the application of coercive measures of a medical or
educational nature, all materials pretrial investigation, although they are of great importance during the
trial of criminal proceedings at this stage of the criminal process. In many cases, this leads to the fact that
the prosecutor sends to the court only those materials that indicate the guilt of the suspect, the accused (in
the case of sending a petition for the release of a person from criminal responsibility or an indictment), as
well as persons in relation to whom the question of application is raised coercive measures of a medical
or educational nature (in case of sending a request for this).
Instead, those materials that exonerate the mentioned persons, or determine the circumstances
mitigating their responsibility, as well as grounds for recognizing the received factual data as inadmissible
evidence, are hidden from the participants of the trial and the court itself. At the same time, the absence of
all pretrial investigation materials in the court affects the speed and objectivity of establishing the
circumstances of the commission of a criminal offense, researching evidence of the guilt or innocence of
the accused, and making a legal and fair court decision. In the opinion of the author, the mentioned
shortcoming is subject to legislative correction by introducing amendments and additions to the Code of
Criminal Procedure of Ukraine, which he proposes.
