This article examines the lack of adequate security guarantees for individuals (suspects and defendants) entering into pre-trial cooperation agreements, as proper implementation of the agreement's terms by the said entity is fraught with a real threat of unlawful influence against them, as well as against their relatives and close associates. To address these potential threats, methods are proposed for effectively implementing certain procedural security measures in conjunction with state protection measures for suspects (defendants) with whom a pre-trial cooperation agreement has been concluded, with the aim of enhancing their security guarantees. The author emphasizes that the security of the cooperating entity must be ensured through the effective and timely implementation of a set of measures stipulated by the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, Federal Law No. 119-FZ, and other regulatory legal acts. In analyzing the options for the joint implementation of procedural measures and state protection measures, the author concludes that the integrated application of procedural security measures and state protection measures should be holistic in nature, since this approach, if properly implemented, will increase the effectiveness of the measures applied and will guarantee real security for the person who has entered into a pre-trial cooperation agreement.
