This article presents a comparative legal analysis of the conceptual and legal foundations of two central subjects of criminal procedure in Uzbekistan - the investigator and the investigating judge - including the scope of their powers and their common and distinguishing features. It examines the current criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan (in particular Article 31¹ of the Criminal Procedure Code), together with the experience of Russia, Germany, France, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, the United States and Japan. Depending on the degree of the investigating judge’s direct participation in conducting investigative actions, the author systematises world practice into three models - “active” (France, Belgium, Spain), “mixed” (Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan) and “control” (Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States, Japan) - and substantiates the correspondence of the “mixed” model chosen by Uzbekistan to international trends. The analysis also draws on official statistics of the Supreme Court, according to which investigating judges examined 52,120 applications for sanctions and coercive measures in 2025, of which 96.5% were granted, including 94.9% of applications for pre-trial detention. The study proposes two directions for strengthening the institution of the investigating judge while preserving the investigator’s procedural independence - expanding “evidence-preservation” investigative actions and introducing a Kazakhstani-style “compulsion” mechanism - and puts forward the idea of allowing an investigator to challenge a prosecutor’s instruction before the investigating judge, weighing its positive and negative consequences.
