Globalisation and criminal process: Prosecutorial supervision of operational and investigative activities in the context of transnational threats

The study analysed the current issues of transformation of prosecutorial supervision over investigative and detective activities in the context of globalisation challenges and transnational threats. The study aimed to provide a comprehensive theoretical and legal analysis of the peculiarities of prosecutorial supervision over operational and investigative activities in the context of globalisation, to identify problematic aspects and to develop scientifically sound recommendations for its improvement. The methodological tools of the study were based on systemic and structural, formal legal and comparative legal methods, which allowed for a comprehensive analysis of the legal framework and international experience of organising prosecutorial supervision. The study identified the main trends in the transformation of prosecutorial supervision in the context of globalisation, in particular: intensification of international cooperation of law enforcement agencies, implementation of digital technologies in supervisory activities, and expansion of procedural powers of prosecutor to control cross-border investigations. The author established that the quality of prosecutorial supervision over operational and investigative activities in the context of the intensification of transnational crime depends on the consistency of national legislation with international standards and the level of implementation of innovative approaches to the organisation of supervisory activities. The author substantiated the need to modernise the legal regulation of prosecutorial supervision and suggests areas for improvement with due regard to international standards and current challenges of transnational crime. The theoretical provisions and practical recommendations formulated in the study can be used to optimise the organisational and legal mechanisms for prosecutorial supervision of operational and investigative activities
