The current criminal procedural legislation, which regulates the issue of legal grounds for the conduction and the system of secret investigative (search) actions, has been researched. Some theoretical
and practical aspects of such actions have been considered. It has been established that the legal regulation of open and secret investigative (search) actions in the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine is
aimed at strengthening the law-enforcement function of the state and protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals, the interests of society and the state from unlawful encroachments; it will expand the capabilities of operative and search activities in terms of the compliance with the constitutional guarantees of the rights of individuals.
Attention has been paid to the fact that the law allows the conduction of secret investigative (search)
actions in order to prevent the commission of criminal offenses. But in case, if the criminal offense
has not been committed yet, and there is a suspicion of its commission, there is an inconsistency in the normative and legal regulation of the provisions of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine and
the Law of Ukraine “On Operative and Search Activities”, which must be taken into account and resolved on the legislative level.
The author has analyzed propositions of famous scholars who expressed their position regarding the
system of secret investigative (search) actions and the legal grounds for conducting them. According
to the results of the study, it has been suggested to make some amendments to the current Criminal
Procedural Code of Ukraine.
