This article provides a theoretical analysis of the institution of plea agreement in the legislation of countries such as england, italy, spain, germany, usa, france. in addition, a conceptological analysis of the conceptual apparatus of agreements on admission of guilt based on the laws of foreign countries is made. based on the specifics of legislative acts, the process of concluding a deal with justice is divided into three stages. the first is that the prosecutor offers to conclude a deal on the condition of a reduced sentence in exchange for an admission of guilt. the second stage consists in the fact that the defense side admits guilt or admits that the accused has committed a crime. as a result, the prosecution is not obliged to prove the guilt of the defendant.
