Features of the proceedings in a complex criminal case in the event of the death of one of the accomplices

The specifics of the criminal case proceedings caused by the death of one of the suspects (accused) are considered. It is concluded that the death of an accomplice to a crime does not reduce the actual boundaries of the investigation, and the termination of criminal prosecution of the deceased is possible only at the end of pre-trial proceedings. The possibility of restoring the property rights of the victims in the conditions of the actual absence of one of the accused due to his death is being investigated. It shows the legal conflicts that arise when choosing the order of the trial and the composition of the court, if the investigation against the deceased accused is continued in the same case in which his accomplices are being prosecuted.
