革命法庭
Later the "Statute of Revolutionary Tribunals" of April 12, 1919 established the precedence of revtribunals over people's courts and gave them unrestricted rights to set the measure of prosecution. On October 21, 1919 the Special Revolutionary Tribunal was established within the Cheka to consider grave cases of profiteering, bribery and abuse of office (должностные преступления). As the decree said, "in its considerations, the Special Revolutionary Tribunal follows the interests of the revolution and is not bound by and forms of legal proceedings."
