STATE OF SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT OF PROBLEMS OF PROCUREMENT OF OPERATIONAL PURCHASES IN DOCUMENTATION OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES OF ORGANIZED CRIMINALS OF THE UNITED STATES

Abstract

The article provides a thorough analysis of the scientific development of the problems of using operational procurement as a key and effective means of documenting the illegal activities of organized criminal groups. It is proven that, despite the significant contribution of domestic scientists to the study of the general provisions of crime control and counteraction to organized crime, the specifics of the organization, tactics and procedural design of operational procurement specifically when documenting organized criminal groups remain insufficiently studied, which confirms the high relevance of the current scientific research. A number of systemic problems have been identified that hinder the effective fight against organized criminal groups, which are characterized by professionalism, latency and transnational nature: legal uncertainty of operational and investigative measures, which creates significant difficulties with the use of materials of operational and investigative activities as admissible evidence in criminal proceedings; imperfection of the procedures for conducting operational procurement, which, according to the analysis of judicial practice, leads to a violation of the requirements of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and, as a result, to the recognition of evidence as inadmissible and the adoption of acquittals; the need to improve the tactics of its implementation through the development of information technologies. The scientific position is highlighted on the need to review and adjust tactical techniques and develop and adopt a special interdepartmental regulatory legal act (or law), which would clearly and uniformly regulate the procedure for organizing, conducting, recording results and using evidence obtained during the control of the commission of a crime. The need to improve scientific and practical recommendations for law enforcement agencies aimed at increasing the legality, evidentiary reliability and systemic effectiveness of the use of operational procurement in combating organized crime is proven.
