The presented research analyzes legal acts that define rules of investigation, relationships between
subjects involved in the investigation process, and the level of their independence from each
other, as well as from external parties. Subordination between the prosecutor and the investigator
is of particular interest in this regard – how broad is the procedural oversight of the prosecutor
over the investigation, in what intensity can a prosecutor, being the party of the process as the
same time10, interfere in investigative actions and what space remains to the investigator to carry
out the investigation in a thorough, full and impartial manner. The research also focuses on institutional
arrangement of investigative bodies, qualification of the investigator, and issues that
influence impartiality and effectiveness of investigation.
