Diploma thesis on the Powers of state prosecutor in preparatory criminal proceedings is trying to comprehensively discuss the individual powers of state prosecutor throughout the preparatory process. The role of the state prosecutor's during the preparatory proceeding is completely irreplaceable. Since the beginning state prosecutor is entitled to co-ordinate the police authorities, and thus form the case by defining the criminal act, the definition of the legal classification and by defining the necessary evidence. Supervises the legality of the preparatory proceeding and ensures that the implementation of procedural acts, that interfere with fundamental rights and freedoms not only of persons against whom the criminal proceedings is conducted, arein order and their nature is preserved.

[pt] O debate sobre a (des)igualdade aflora no seio social dos Estados, especialmente naqueles que implantam uma proposta democrática. Igualdade é pressuposto de democracia e projeta-se também no processo penal. Apesar de afirmar a igualdade de armas entre as partes, identifica-se que as desigualdades materiais não são compensadas dentro do processo público, sobretudo nas sociedade latino-americanas. As garantias processuais acabam afirmando, paradoxalmente, a igualdade de sujeitos desiguais. Esta realidade se agrava no contexto da América Latina quando, tanto o Direito Penal quando o Processo Penal, desempenham uma função de controle de massas, de caráter clientelista, orientado a conter possíveis insatisfações da grande massa de excluídos. O principal objetivo deste trabalho, é pois, compreender a participação do acusado no processo penal, inserido no modelo predominantemente acusatório, procurando harmonizar a garantia de igualdade formal à desigualdade material, a fim de que efetivamente se assegure a garantia de acesso a Justiça Penal a todos os cidadãos. Promover-se-á, dessa forma, uma crítica ao processo penal, onde a participação do acusado, em igualdade de condições formais e materiais, na formação do provimento final deve ser compreendida como pressuposto de legitimação da aplicação do Direito Penal, igualdade essa alcançada, sobretudo, pela afirmação de amplitude de defesa ao acusado pelo Estado. A pesquisa busca fundamentação na teoria do Garantismo Penal, de LUIGI FERRAJOLI, que situa o contraditório e a ampla defesa como técnicas jurisdicionais normativamente admitidas, assegurando ao acusado, sobretudo aos excluídos dos projetos neoliberais, igualdade de participação na formação da verdade a ser encerrada pelo provimento final. / [en] The discussion about (in) equality appears in the social aspect of the States, specially those wich implemented a democratic proposal. Equality is a presupposition of democracy and also projects itself in the criminal process. Despite affirming the equality between the parts, it is identified that the material inequalities are not compesated inthe public process, mainly in the Latin American societies. The reality is aggravated in the context Latin America when, both Criminal Law ans the Criminal Process, have as its main function Mass Control, of a Patronage system, oriented to contain the possible unsatisfactions of great number of excluded individuals. The main objective of this paper is to understand the participation of the accused individual in the Criminal Process inserted in the predominantly accusatory model, trying to cope with the guarantee of formal equality and the material inequality, so that it effectively reassure the guarantee of access to the Criminal Law to all citizens. The research is based on Teoria do Garantismo Penal ( Criminal Guaranteeing Theory) by Luigi Ferrajoli, that situates the contradictory and the ample defense with jurisdictional technics normatively accepted, assuring the accused, above all the excluded from the neoliberal projects, equality in participation int the formation of the truth to be enclosed by the final provision.

The dissertation analyses a new theme which has not yet been analysed in Lithuanian research and makes an attempt to reveal the theoretical foundations of the institute of reopening a criminal case. The object of the dissertation is the nature of the institute of the reopening of criminal proceedings, the historical development of this institute, the purposes, features, the existing grounds for the reopening of a case, types, specialness of the types, procedure for the reopening of a criminal case, and the place of the reopening of a criminal case among other forms of control over court judgments. The research has been carried out along two directions.. The first has analysed the theoretical grounds of the institute of reopening a criminal case. The second has evaluated both the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure which regulate the reopening of a criminal case and the resultant court practice, the analysis of which has determined some of the theoretical conclusions. The research has conformed the hypothesis that the appropriate conception of the reopening of a criminal case as an extraordinary form of control over court judgment and the facultative stage of criminal process enables to safeguard both the lawful expectations of the parties to the process and a fair trial. A comprehensive analysis of the institute of reopening of a criminal case has also determined a more general proposition that a balanced system of the forms of control over a court judgment is dependant...

Disertacinio tyrimo objektas – baudžiamosios bylos atnaujinimo instituto teisinė prigimtis, istorinė raida, tikslai, požymiai, pagrindai, dėl kurių atnaujinama byla, rūšys, rūšių ypatumai, atnaujinimo procedūra bei baudžiamosios bylos atnaujinimo vieta kitų teismų sprendimų kontrolės formų sistemoje. Mokslinis tyrimas atliktas dviem kryptimis. Pirma, analizuoti baudžiamosios bylos atnaujinimo instituto teoriniai pagrindai. Antra, vertintos baudžiamosios bylos atnaujinimą reguliuojančios Baudžiamojo proceso kodekso nuostatos ir jų pagrindu besiklostanti teismų praktika, kurios analizė vėlgi leido atskleisti ir suformuoti kai kurias teorines išvadas. Tyrimo metu pasitvirtino hipotezė, kad tinkamas baudžiamosios bylos atnaujinimo kaip išimtinės (ekstraordinarinės) teismų sprendimų kontrolės formos ir išimtinės (neprivalomos) baudžiamojo proceso stadijos suvokimas leidžia užtikrinti teisėtus proceso šalių lūkesčius bei sąžiningą baudžiamąjį procesą. Kompleksinė baudžiamosios bylos atnaujinimo instituto analizė nulėmė ir bendresnį teiginį, kad teismų sprendimų kontrolės formų sistemos harmoningas funkcionavimas priklauso nuo to, kaip yra, konstruojant teisės normas, derinamos tarpusavyje visos esamos baudžiamajame procese teismų sprendimų kontrolės formos: nei viena iš jų neturi dubliuoti ar perimti kitos formos...

The considered model develops from the distinction between inherent functions to the criminal persecution inquiry, accusation and judgment proposing, as imperative for preservation of the equitable in the way that the criminal jurisdiction contemplates the interests of the parts, the attribution of each one of them to distinct agencies, considering indispensable the communication and interaction between them, but forbidden the direct interference of one in the activities conferred to any of the others. Through this proposal, formulated by analysis of the Brazilian constitutional text, it searched identification of the devices of the criminal legislation procedural that authorize the direct interference, proposing however the rereading, however the not reception, of them stipulation in face of the accusatory procedural system foreseen by the Federal Constitution. We also examine the trend current to extend public prosecution service attributions, responsible agency for the accusation, also for the criminal inquiry, concluding, first for the impossibility of this magnifying in face of constitutional text and also for its inappropriate in order to preserve the structure of equitable criminal proceeding. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar o sistema processual de cunho acusatório, consagrado pela Constituição Federal brasileira, e identificar os seus desvirtuamentos presentes na legislação processual de modo a resguardar o processo penal eqüitativo, componente do Estado Democrático de Direito. O modelo proposto se desenvolve a partir da distinção entre funções inerentes à persecução penal investigação, acusação e julgamento pregando, como imperativo para preservação da eqüitatividade do modo de como a jurisdição penal contempla os interesses das partes, a atribuição de cada uma delas a órgãos distintos, sendo indispensável a comunicação e interação entre eles, mas vedada a interferência direta de um nas atividades conferidas a qualquer dos outros. Através dessa proposta, formulada mediante análise do texto constitucional, buscou-se a identificação dos dispositivos da legislação processual penal que autorizam a referida interferência direta, pregando ora a releitura, ora a não recepção, do que neles vem estipulado em face do sistema processual acusatório previsto pela Constituição Federal. Examinamos também a tendência atual de ampliar os poderes do Ministério Público, órgão responsável pela acusação, também para o campo da investigação criminal, concluindo, primeiro pela impossibilidade dessa ampliação em face do texto constitucional e, num segundo momento, pela sua inadequação de modo a preservar a estrutura do processo penal eqüitativo.
