《监察法》《监察法实施条例》修改专题（二）：监察调查权的理解与适用——内容、主体、对象和管辖
By King & Wood
作者：杨帆 刘艳洁 孙敬芳 林资祺 郭堉恺 监察调查权是监察机关的基本职权，是“监察利剑”发挥应有效能的重要保障。广义的监察调查不局限于立案后的调查，而是贯穿于职务违法犯罪案件全环节和各方面。在案件的不同阶段，监察机关根据其职权，可以采取谈话、讯问、询问、查询、冻结、调取、查封、扣押、搜查、勘验检查、鉴定、留置、管护、责令候查、强制到案等措施开展调查。修改后的《中华人民共和国监察法》和《中华人民共和国监察法实施条例》，对监察调查权进行了明确和拓展。准确和深入领会相关规定，有助于被调查人在妥善配合调查的过程中，充分理解或掌握事态性质、案件所处程序、维权的窗口和渠道，有的放矢。在系列文章的第二篇，我们将围绕监察调查权的内容、主体、对象展开分析，并着重解读因监察对象的不同而导致不同地域、不同级别管辖的规定和现象。 阅读更多
