On due process of law when presenting the results of operational search activities by operational units of the penal system

The issues of presenting the results of operational-search activities to the preliminary investigation bodies by the operational units of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation are examined in the article based on the operational-search practice of internal affairs bodies and corrections officers in regard to information received in relation to the crimes committed and the persons who committed them. The legal grounds for presenting these results as well as the lawfulness of presenting the results of operational-search activities in terms of compliance with legislative and other regulatory legal acts are studied. Based on the situational approach, some recommendations are given by the author.
