The interior Ministry proposes to include the investigator in the list of officials entitled to request in banks of the information.

According to MIA territorial bodies in 2017 in the production of investigators was nearly 47 thousand criminal cases about such crimes for 7 months of this year — about 26 thousand.
At the present time to obtain the information from banks on accounts of suspected (accused) or persons having by law liability for their actions, investigators can only on the basis of a court decision to enforce a sentence (article 115 of the code of criminal procedure).
In 2017 the investigators, with the consent of the supervising prosecutors on the basis of a court decision directed 4 939 thousand requests for withdrawal in the banks of information with limited access, for 7 months in 2018 — 3 thousand 918.
