Abstract

This scientific study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and practical aspects of prosecutorial supervision in the investigation of criminal offenses in the field of information technology — one of the most pressing issues in the modern legal system. The purpose of the article is to determine the scientific foundations for improving prosecutorial oversight mechanisms in the digital era and to develop proposals aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of criminal proceedings. The research employed a set of general scientific and special legal methods, including system analysis, comparative-legal, historical-legal, statistical, and modeling approaches. The author’s findings and conclusions are based on a comprehensive scientific study of the current criminal legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the legal regulation practices of Germany, Japan, China, Spain, and the United States. As a result of the study, the role and boundaries of prosecutorial supervision in the investigation of criminal offenses in the field of information technology were clarified, and the necessity of implementing international standards for handling digital evidence based on the “chain of custody” principle was substantiated. The importance of improving KYC/AML requirements for cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, as well as strengthening interagency cooperation in investigating such crimes, was emphasized. The research findings aim to improve law enforcement agency performance, harmonize national information security legislation with international standards, and shape a new format for prosecutorial supervision in the investigation of criminal offenses in the field of information technology.
