Joint calculation of the terms of the preinvestigation (inqury) and the period of detention as an artificial brake of the preliminary investigation

The article draws attention to the problem associated with the correct calculation and procedure for extending the terms of the preliminary investigation and inquiry with a preventive measure in the form of detention. The author states that in the event that the investigator (interrogator) manages to complete the preliminary investigation within the period established by law, the judicial authorities should not indicate the need to extend the period of the investigation (inquiry) in relation to the period of detention when choosing or extending the specified preventive measure. It is concluded that the term of the preliminary investigation and the term of detention are subject to independent calculation.
