FEATURES OF INTERROGATIONS IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING TACTICAL OPERATIONS IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CRIMES COMMITTED BY CRIMINAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

The article highlights the actual theoretical and practical procedural, organizational and methodical problems of interrogation as an element of a tactical operation in the inves-tigation of crimes committed by criminal communities. A set of investigative (research) actions, operational search measures, which should be carried out at each stage of implemen-tation of operational development materials regarding crimes committed by criminal com-munities, has been defined. The author aimed to develop forensic recommendations to eliminate these and other issues that cause difficulties during interrogation. The specifics of conducting tactical operations in general and conducting interroga-tions as elements of such operations in the investigation of crimes committed by criminal communities are determined. It is noted that the choice of tactical methods and specific measures aimed at the implementation of operational development materials by conduct-ing tactical operations regarding the criminal and illegal activities of criminal communities should be determined on the basis of an assessment of the initial information available at the disposal of the authorized operational unit at the beginning of the implementation about: the subject of the criminal offense; method of committing the crime; established in the process of operative and investigative documentation of the facts of criminal and illegal activity of the persons under investigation; presence of accomplices, etc. It has been proven that the choice of interrogation tactics in the investigation of crimes committed by criminal communities is influenced by certain patterns that manifest them-selves during interrogations, which are grouped into three groups: - laws related to the peculiarities of the proof process during interrogations of suspects in crimes committed by criminal communities; - patterns that affect tactical features taken into account during interrogations during criminal proceedings; - regularities that are manifested in the specifics of the behavior of all participants in the crime during the pre-trial investigation, which determine the interrogation tactics dur-ing the investigation of crimes committed by criminal communities. Recommendations for gathering information about members of the criminal commu-nity at the preparatory stage of the interrogation and the most rational use of tactical tech-niques when conducting this investigative (search) action with the participation of members of the criminal community have been formulated.
