The article is dedicated to the analysis of a new security measure in criminal proceedings – the suspension of transactions under Article 115.2 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the rapid growth of cybercrime and the need to adapt procedural tools to the realities of the digital economy. The work examines the legal nature of this measure, enshrined by the legislator as an alternative measure of procedural coercion. The grounds and conditions for its application, as well as the procedural order of its implementation, are examined in detail. A central place is given to a comparative analysis of the suspension of transactions and the classic seizure of property (Article 115 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation), which reveals their fundamental differences in purpose, the subject authorized to make the decision, duration, and legal consequences. It is concluded that the introduction of Article 115.2 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation establishes a two-tier model of security, where the new measure serves as an operational tool of «procedural first aid» for the temporary blocking of liquid assets.
