Abstract
A person who committed a criminal offense must be brought to legal responsibility to the extent of his guilt. Establishing a person's guilt must be done by collecting evidence, one of the ways of which is conducting investigative (search) actions. During a pre-trial investigation, the most widespread investigative (search) action is an interrogation, which, according to the current criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine, can also be conducted via videoconference. This type of interrogation is also provided for at the legislative level of other foreign countries and has its own characteristics. On this basis, in historical retrospect, the authors conducted an analysis of the development of interrogation via videoconference, analyzed the foreign experience of legislative regulation of interrogation via videoconference, taking into account what was concluded about the need to improve the legal regulation of this investigative (search) action.
