The article is dedicated to research into the prosecutor's authority at the end of pre-trial proceedings by dismissing a criminal case on the grounds specified in Article 25.1 of the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation. Having analyzed the procedural activities of competent persons, the author associates the criminal case dismissal on the aforementioned grounds with the final stages of pre-trial proceedings. It is emphasized that due to the introduction of the new alternative method to end pre-trial proceedings, a special role is currently given to the prosecutor as a guarantor of rights and legal interests of the participants of criminal proceedings. The scientific novelty of the study is that it considers some moot points in the statutory regulation of the prosecutor's authority at the end of pretrial proceedings resulting in a fine imposed by the court, taking into consideration the latest changes to the criminal procedural legislation of Russia and judicial practice. It is concluded that it is advisable to make criminal case dismissals with court imposed fines subject to prosecutor's supervision irrespective of the form of investigation.
