Abstract

The article considers the legal position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, allowing the court to return the criminal case to the prosecutor with the purpose of qualifying the accuser’s act as a more serious crime. On the basis of the constructive analysis of the systemic nature of the principles of the criminal process, the argument is argued that the return of the criminal case to the prosecutor for the strengthening of the charge on the court's initiative fits into the domestic model of competition. It is proved that the interpretation of the body of constitutional judicial control on the indicated issue is due to the initially incorrect construction of the criminal process, which consists in the incorrectly constructed correlation of pre-trial and judicial activities in criminal cases. The criteria for delineation of judicial activity to strengthen the prosecution and additional investigation have been revealed. The final conclusion is substantiated that, with a reasonable approach of judges, the return of a criminal case to the prosecutor for the strengthening of the prosecution should be positioned as an integral attribute of the issuance of a lawful, reasonable and fair verdict.
