Initiation of criminal proceedings in the case of intent offence subject to a public accusation as a prerequisite of suspending an officer of the Internal Security Agency and the Foreign Intelligence Agency This paper is entirely devoted to the prerequisite of obligatory suspension of an officer of the Internal Security Agency or the Foreign Intelligence Agency. This regulation is included in the Article 58 sec. 1 of the Act on the Internal Security Agency and the Foreign Intelligence Agency. Suspension from official duties is obligatory in the event of an initiation of criminal proceedings in the case of an intent offence subjected to a public accusation. Therefore, attention was focused on the wording: “initiation of criminal proceedings in the case of intent offence prosecuted with public accusation against an officer of the International Security Agency and the Foreign Intelligence Agency” as a condition enabling the use of the legal construct included in Article 58 sec. 1 of the Act on the International Security Agency and the Foreign Intelligence Agency. This happens in a situation of changing the phase of preparatory proceedings in the criminal case prosecuted against an officer of the International Security Agency or the Foreign Intelligence Agency from in rem to ad personam, submitting subsidiary indictment to the court and reopening of the criminal proceedings. Artykuł został poświęcony problematyce związanej z przesłanką obligatoryjnego zawieszenia funkcjonariusza ABW albo AW w czynnościach służbowych. Ta regulacja jest zawarta w art. 58 ust. 1 Ustawy z dnia 24 maja 2002 r. o Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego oraz Agencji Wywiadu. Zawieszenie w czynnościach służbowych jest obowiązkowe w przypadku wszczęcia postępowania karnego w sprawie o przestępstwo umyślne ścigane z oskarżenia publicznego. Uwagę skoncentrowano na sformułowaniu „wszczęcie postępowania karnego o przestępstwo umyślne ścigane z oskarżenia publicznego przeciwko funkcjonariuszowi ABW albo AW” jako na przesłance warunkującej zastosowanie konstrukcji prawnej zawartej w art. 58 ust. 1 ustawy o ABW i AW. Następuje to w sytuacji zmiany stadium postępowania przygotowawczego prowadzonego wobec funkcjonariusza ABW albo AW z in rem w ad personam, wniesienia subsydiarnego aktu oskarżenia do sądu, a także wznowienia postępowania karnego.

Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy zakazu członkostwa funkcjonariusza Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego i Agencji Wywiadu w partii politycznej oraz uczestnictwa w działalności tej partii lub na jej rzecz. Zakaz, o którym mowa, został ustanowiony w art. 81 ust. 1 ustawy z 24 maja 2002 r. o Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego oraz Agencji Wywiadu. Służba publiczna wymaga wprowadzenia pewnych ograniczeń praw funkcjonariuszy w stosunku do reszty członków społeczeństwa. Neutralność polityczna stanowi gwarancję właściwej realizacji zadań i celów wymienionych formacji. Wskazano, że przepis art. 81 ust. 1 ustawy o Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego oraz Agencji Wywiadu zawiera dwie niezależne od siebie normy prawne, tj. zakaz członkostwa w partii politycznej oraz zakaz uczestnictwa w działalności partii politycznej lub na jej rzecz. Uwagę skupiono na wskazaniu granic tych zakazów. W tym aspekcie wytyczono sferę dozwolonego zachowania funkcjonariusza. Podkreślono również, że ograniczenia, o których mowa, nie naruszają praw i wolności zagwarantowanych Konstytucją RP. The prohibition of political party membership and of participation in political party activities or on its behalf imposed on officers of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency This paper was entirely devoted to the issues connected with the prohibition of membership in a political party of an officer of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency and the participation in the activities of that party or on its behalf. This prohibition was established in Article 81 (1) of the Act of 24 May 2002 of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency. Public service requires the introduction of certain restrictions on the rights of officers in relation to the rest of members of society. Political neutrality guarantees proper implementation of the tasks and aims of this formation. There was indicated that aforementioned provision of Article 81 (1) of the Act of 24 May 2002 of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency contains two independent legal norms i.e. prohibition of membership in a political party and prohibition of participation in the activities of political party or on its behalf. Attention was therefore focused on indicating the limits of these prohibitions. In this aspect, the sphere of official behavior has been demarcated. There was also underlined that these limits in question do not violate the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Polish Constitution.

The 1950S

The writer Yury Dombrovsky did not leave behind any diaries of memoirs. Glimpses of his life are scattered across autobiographical poems and prose. Although an important source for research, letters and reminiscences of friends are often limited to a single episode or a brief period, usually of the writer’s later life in Moscow. What proved indispensable in the process of recovering facts and compiling a good half of the biography — spanning a lengthy period from the 1920s to the 1950s — were materials of the criminal proceedings. They also help decipher the writer’s major two-part novel, a fact he acknowledged himself. However, the archive materials were only recently declassified. The article aims to reconstruct a period of Yury Dombrovsky’s life and introduces the hitherto unpublished materials of his third criminal case of 1939. The author compares testimonies found in Dombrovsky’s writings and memoirs of his friends and acquaintances with documents preserved in archives, including tip-offs to the authorities.

A Minor

The functioning of the jury in Russia has demonstrated not only effectiveness, but also a number of problems that need to be resolved. Such problems include the personal jurisdiction of criminal cases by jury. The article reveals the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation regarding the right of minors to trial a criminal case in a jury. The approaches to solving this issue that have developed in the judicial practice of individual foreign states are analyzed, the main directions for further scientific discussion regarding the right of minors to a jury trial are outlined. The purpose of the article is to disclose various approaches to the administration of criminal justice in the relations of minors with the participation of lay judges. The theoretical basis of the study was Russian and foreign scientific works in the field of criminal procedure law, devoted both to the consideration of criminal cases with the jury, and the specifics of juvenile criminal proceedings. Using the comparative legal research method has allowed to reveal various approaches to the access of minors to jury trials in individual states. In Russian legislation and judicial practice the question of the right of minors to have a criminal case against them considered by a jury remains unresolved. The position of the Constitutional Court of Russia regarding the jurisdiction of such criminal cases is also controversial. The experience of foreign countries indicates that there is no universal way to ensure the right of a minor to a proper court. This issue is decided depending on the type of criminal process, the presence or absence of specialized juvenile courts. Any direct borrowing in this regard cannot be considered effective, but a generalization of foreign experience can create the necessary basis for optimizing both the work of the jury and criminal proceedings against minors.

Iatrogenic Complications

Professional activity of intensivists consistently ranks high among the most «risky» areas of medicine. In 6 out of 89 criminal «iatrogenic» cases initiated by investigative authorities in the Moscow region in 2016–2018 anesthesiological or intensive care in the ICU was the subject of investigation. In 4 of these 6 cases, iatrogenic complications were detected during the forensic examination. Intensivist is considered an attending doctor and therefore holds responsibility for defects in the provision of medical care and its adverse outcome.The purpose of the study is to outline the professional risks in the work of an intensivist and identify ways to reduce them by using a case study with a fatal outcome, which led to criminal proceedings.Materials and methods. We studied and analyzed the criminal case files which included the complaint of the patient’s relatives with the prosecutor’s office, the explanations and interrogation records of the patient’s relatives (4) and healthcare workers (6), the minutes of the Morbidity and Mortality conference, the expert report on patient care quality issued by health insurance company, the final report of sanitary and epidemiological examination, autopsy protocol, emergency call files (3), the inpatient medical records, outpatient records and the final report of Commission of forensic medical examination.Results. Defects in the provision of medical care were not identified. The differential diagnosis was performed correctly. The severity of the patient's condition was due to brain infarction and associated abnormalities. Underdiagnosis of botulism did not affect the outcome of the disease and was not the cause of death of the patient.Conclusion. The reasons for filing a complaint with the Prosecutor's office and initiating a criminal case were organizational shortcomings and ethical and deontological aspects.

The article aims to examine one of the elements of the formal mechanism of maintaining court practice unity in criminal proceedings of Ukraine and European countries – referring a case to the highest division of the Supreme Court. Similar to the Ukrainian criminal procedure legislation, the grounds for referring a criminal case and the procedure of its application are provided in the legislation of Estonia, Italy and Lithuania. At the same time, the Ukrainian legislator has established a number of special features, however, the wording of the relevant articles of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine is not perfect. The article provides answers to such questions as how forceful the provisions of criminal procedure legislation of Ukraine are, to what extent of effectiveness the Supreme Court exercises its legal authority regarding the unity of court practice in criminal proceedings, and whether the controversies in legal positions of the structural divisions of the Supreme Court have been successfully avoided. In order to achieve the stated aims, parts 2 and 3 are devoted to the examination of the grounds for referring a case in criminal proceedings of Ukraine and European countries. Part 4 outlines the shortcomings of the content of some articles of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine concerning the procedure of the referral of a criminal case to the highest division of the Supreme Court. Part 5 provides the analysis of the validity of decisions made by the boards of judges at the Supreme Court on the referral of criminal proceedings to its higher judicial divisions – the joint chamber of the Criminal Cassation Court and the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court. On the basis of the study of the judgements of boards, the judicial chambers of the Criminal Cassation Court and the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court, in part 6 the question is answered on whether the Supreme Court of Ukraine managed to perform its duty on the assurance of court practice unity in such an area as criminal proceedings. Keywords: exclusive legal problem, development of law, formation of uniform law enforcement practice, the Supreme Court, criminal proceedings, Ukraine.

Judicial Error

The central element of this extraordinary appeal is the judicial error. The review involves finding a legal error in the criminal case settled by a final judgment, which was based on an erroneous assessment of the state of affairs. Exercising appeals does not create a new procedural report, but only extends the initial report in this new procedural phase. In our judicial system, the unanimous classification is that appeals are divided into two categories: ordinary ways and extraordinary ways. Thus, before the decision, the case under Article 453 (1) (a) could be invoked as a ground for review only in favor of the convicted person or of the one to whom the waiver of the punishment or deferment of the punishment or termination of the criminal proceedings, if the review is aimed at obtaining an acquittal. Therefore, this case of revision could not be used to the detriment of the person who was acquitted or who was ordered to terminate the criminal proceedings, with the aim of reaching a decision on conviction, renunciation of the punishment or postponement of the application punishment.

The article reveals the nature of the claim of a private prosecution, which establishes the freedom to dispose of material and procedural rights. The forms of manifestation of dispositive principles in the material and procedural aspects in the course of criminal proceedings are determined. Taking into account the nature of the claim of a private prosecution, various models of proceedings in criminal cases of a private prosecution and the peculiarities of the implementation of the provisions of the criminal procedure principle of the presumption of innocence are considered. The author critically assesses the legal constructions that allow the application of a special procedure for making a court decision in criminal proceedings of a private prosecution if the accused agrees with the charge brought. In particular, taking into account the provisions of the principle of the presumption of innocence, it is concluded that it is inadmissible to apply Chapter 40 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation when considering a criminal case of a private prosecution if it is initiated by filing an application directly with a magistrate in the manner prescribed by Art. 318 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation or when investigating a criminal case of this category in the form of an abbreviated inquiry, regulated by Ch. 32.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

Legal Consequences

The legal fact of the death of a witness in a criminal trial causes various legal consequences to occur. In cases where the witness, after being called to give evidence, was not questioned in connection with the death, these consequences are expressed in changing the methods and means of proof in the criminal case. In situations where the death of a witness occurred after interrogation, criminal procedural consequences may occur in the form of the reading of the deceased’s testimony, the evidentiary value of which is not lost if certain procedural conditions are met. Then the death of a witness acquires the property of an exclusive basis for limiting the oral proceedings and the adversarial nature of the parties in criminal proceedings, allowing the court to unconditionally resort to reading the testimony of the deceased.
