The article presents the second part of a study dedicated to the institution of special investigative actions, which has become widespread in the post-Soviet space. As noted in the first part of the study, there are several arguments in favor of conducting further research on this topic. Firstly, it is emphasized that despite the existence of special investigative actions in Russian criminal procedure law, there is no established set of special rules for conducting these actions, which would provide the necessary guarantees for the rights of individuals under criminal prosecution. The second argument is related to the problem of using the results of operational and investigative activities as evidence, and the third argument is related to the impossibility of establishing an equivalent level of guarantees in the field of operational and investigative activities. The fourth argument is based on the idea of developing means of criminal procedural management in pre-trial proceedings. The last argument suggests a scientific study of the use of the potential of special category investigative actions in procedural proof, taking into account the ongoing changes in modern society, the development of information technology, and other significant factors that generate the needs of practical activities for the investigation and resolution of crimes.
