An exhibition dedicated to the Day of Pre-trial Investigation Bodies

On 12 September, the Day of Pre-trial Investigation Bodies’ Employees is officially marked in the Republic of Belarus.

On the eve of this holiday, September 9, 2022, the National Historical Archives of Belarus took part in the exhibition “Pre-trial Criminal Proceedings: Past and Future”, which was organized with the support of the Main Department of Digital Development of Pre-trial Investigation at the Central Office of the Investigative Committee and was held at the Institute of Advanced Training and Retraining of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Belarus.

The opening ceremony of the exhibition was attended by the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Belarus D. Yu. Gora and the representatives of the Central Office of the Investigative Committee, Director of the National Historical Archives of Belarus O. L. Voinov and the Head of the Institute of Advanced Training and Retraining of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Belarus Yu. F. Kamenetsky.

The exhibition was aimed to popularize the history of pre-trial criminal proceedings in Belarus. It consisted of deed books of city courts of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and criminal cases from the period of the Russian Empire. The original documents from the late 16th-early 20th centuries were exhibited at the Investigative Committee for the first time and aroused great interest among the guests of the exhibition, who had a chance to examine the materials of the resonant criminal cases first-hand.

During the event, employees of the National Historical Archives of Belarus answered numerous questions from visitors to the exhibition.
