The investigation of crimes committed by officials and the criminal prosecution of these individuals are characterized by certain peculiarities. In this regard, the process related to the initiation of criminal prosecution and its implementation is particularly interesting. These individuals enjoy immunity, which may prevent them from being prosecuted. Accordingly, it’s limited the officials ability to participate in the investigation, which creates ground for them to be involved in criminal proceedings in different illegal ways.
To avoid this, it would be better to introduce the institution of "assisted witness" in the Georgian procedural space.
