MECHANISMS FOR REDUCING THE LATENCY OF CORRUPTION CRIMES ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN

The author describes the conditions and peculiarities of committing corruption-related offenses in the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan and proposes universal methods and tools for detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies. The paper reflects possible ways to reduce the latency of corruption crimes, among which the author highlights the strengthening of theoretical and legal training of law enforcement officers, the involvement of experts at the stage of a preliminary investigation, the exclusion of the creation of additional structures, bodies, documents in the fight against corruption offenses and crimes. To reduce corruption risks, the author proposes to introduce an open information system of document flow between the law enforcement agencies for receiving appeals about the facts of corruption offences and crimes. The issue of confidentiality and protection of an applicant remains open if the appeal concerns corruption in law enforcement agencies. The author proposes other methods of detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies by improving operational and investigative activities. The author proposed to supplement part 3.1 of Article 17 of the law “Concerning the State Civil Service” with the words both about the possible business activities (including the activities of a self-employed) of a former state civil servant and the prohibition of such activities for his/her close relatives to exclude the jobbery. It is proposed article 13.3 of the law “Concerning Combating Corruption” should exclude the obligation for organizations to develop anti-corruption documents while maintaining the advisory nature of these actions since the current legislation does not provide for liability for the absence of such documents.
