TACTICAL FEATURES OF INTERROGATION IN PRE-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS IN CASES OF OFFICIAL VIOLENT CRIMES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF FOREIGN CITIZENS OF THE NEAR ABROAD)

Abstract

In recent years, official violent crimes against foreign citizens of the near abroad have become more frequent. Information about an official as a criminal, his psychological traits and characteristics is obtained during interrogation, as well as information about a victim of such crimes. However, interrogating a victim who is a foreign national is often difficult due to various reasons (lack of language, misinterpretation of legisla-tion, etc.). Without addressing the procedural causes of such problems, the focus of this study is primarily on the tactical aspects of interrogation of foreign victims in the cases being sought, suspected and accused officials, as well as witnesses. The purpose is to define and systematize categories of foreign victims of official violent crimes on the basis of law enforcement practice and to organize tactical methods for interrogating victims, suspects, accused and witnesses in the crimes under consideration. Vari-ous methods of research are used in the preparation of the article: universal dialectical, logical, statistical, formal-legal, comparative-legal. Results: the paper defines catego-ries of foreign victims of official violent crimes, formulates general provisions and tactics of interrogation of officials and victims, and provides typical questions for in-terrogating different categories of persons.
