Summary/Abstract: According to the author’s opinion, the Constitutional Accountability Committee is entitled to request written explanations or documents from public authorities, as well as the files of each case conducted by them. The Committee is therefore entitled to obtain an audio recording for evidentiary purposes. According to the author, it is also permissible for the Committee to carry out such evidence, if it is requested by a person who is the subject of a preliminary motion to hold the person accountable before the Tribunal of State. Transcriptions and other documents made on the basis of the recordings may also serve as evidence in proceedings pending before the Constitutional Accountability Committee.
