The issue of a new form of international cooperation in the field of criminal proceedings and criminal prosecution is being considered – the preliminary investigation by interstate investigative groups. Attention is focused on the importance of integration mechanisms in the law enforcement activities of pre-trial criminal proceedings, which are based on the practical experience of regulatory regulation in foreign countries on the issue of command investigation of crimes, including at the international level. At the same time, it is noted that achieving the development of the national law enforcement system of the Russian Federation at an effective level involves strengthening international channels of interaction between justice and criminal prosecution authorities in the international legal field, the security of which is currently being violated by criminal offenses. In addition, we are talking about the expediency of implementing a joint international investigation of crimes in the form of the activities of interstate investigative groups of Russian and foreign preliminary investigation bodies, primarily with those foreign states with which the Russian Federation has concluded bilateral treaties on legal assistance in criminal matters; the grounds are described as a result of which inter-State investigation teams can be created. Based on the results of the study, a theoretical concept of the mechanism for organizing interstate investigative groups is proposed, which assumes regulation of the activities of their members at the process level, as well as describing the grounds for creating groups in the provisions of acts of international treaties of the Russian Federation concluded with friendly countries.
