Abstract

In the article the problem of definition of procedural function of the investigator is analyzed. The difference of approaches in definition of the directions of its activity is specified. The conclusion that the investigator carries out crime investigation function is drawn, and exposure of the person in its commission is completely covered by this direction. The main decisions of the investigator which are making out and concretizing criminal prosecution of the defendant assume objectivity at their acceptance. The Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, having called the investigator among participants of criminal trial from charge, does not assume unilaterality and subjective and accusatory orientation of its activity at investigation of crimes at all. However other formal definition of the place of the investigator in the system of participants of criminal procedure is hardly capable to increase automatically quality and efficiency of pretrial investigation. In this regard issues of morality of the investigator and his procedural activity are updated.
