Совершенствование методики расследования уголовных дел о преступлениях, предусмотренных ст. 174, 174.1 УК РФ

Abstract

The fight against economic and corruption crimes committed in the financial and credit sphere, as well as crimes related to the legalization of proceeds from crime, is a systemic problem that the state and society must solve together. Law enforcement agencies have at their disposal a sufficient arsenal of criminal law and criminal procedure measures to combat crimes provided for in articles 174 and 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, due to the relatively short period of existence in the criminal law of the Russian Federation of the elements of crimes related to the legalization (laundering) of criminal proceeds, repeated significant changes in the relevant legal norms, as well as the high latency of these crimes, extensive law enforcement practice of preliminary investigation of relevant criminal cases has not yet been developed. In this regard, it is necessary to analyze and generalize typical ways of committing crimes of this category, as well as to look for and use in practice new ways to resolve problematic issues. The article will help practitioners in the investigation of criminal cases of this category.
