The author has studied the procedural status of a pledger within criminal proceedings and has formulated propositions to the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine in part of regulating the procedure for the application of personal surety. For this purpose, the author of the article has separately studied the issue of the procedure for involving a pledger. It has been indicated that the initiative on involving a pledger for criminal proceedings may be initiated by both a suspect, accused, on whom the issue of the application of a preventive measure is being decided, and by persons who wish to take the bail of a suspect, accused. Instead, an investigating judge, court may choose a preventive measure in the form of a personal surety only if a pledger agrees or his application for taking a bail of a suspect, accused.
It has been stressed that the statutory requirements are the trust or special confidence of an investigating judge, court to a pledger. Trust and special confidence, above all, are the awareness of an investigating judge, court that a pledger can contribute to the achievement of the purpose of a preventive measure and the execution of the duties by a suspect, accused, and secondly, they are based on the special moral qualities of a pledger, his authority.
It has been concluded that personal surety is a preventive measure far from perfect in terms of legal enforcement, since the legislator has not resolved a number of important issues. Consequently, it is necessary to improve the provisions of the Art. 180 of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, and secondly, to regulate the procedural status of a pledger by amending the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine with a separate norm.
