The article is devoted to the analysis of the legal and doctrinal nature of suspicion in the criminal prosecution system. The purpose of the study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the epistemological, legal and procedural nature of suspicion, and to determine its place in the criminal prosecution system. The relevance of the work is due to the convergence of the forms of pre-trial proceedings, the lack of a legally fixed definition of suspicion and practice, according to which the procedural status is often determined by formal conditions and is determined regardless of the availability of material grounds for decision-making. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that there is a procedural (procedural) rather than substantive difference between suspicion and accusation, as well as the need for legislative unification of the definition and the extension of the mechanism for notification of suspicion to the preliminary investigation.
