Application of procedural interview during pre-trial investigation of corruption criminal offenses committed in the financial sector

Abstract

One of the conditions for the survival of human society is the consistency of actions between its representatives, which is achieved through the exchange of information. Communication is the basis of any collective process, and pre-trial investigation from a certain point of view is a legally regulated process of communication between participants in criminal proceedings, with a specific goal, outlined rights and obligations of participants.

At the current stage of development of society, financial services are an indispensable element of life. Financial institutions that provide these services, and the National Regulator, which supervises their quality, are present every day in the life of every citizen. Corruption criminal offenses committed in the financial sphere with the participation of officials of financial institutions and the National Regulator, instantly affect the broad masses of citizens, undermine trust in the financial system, government, and impede the development and existence of society as a whole.

The success of a pre-trial investigation of a corruption criminal offense committed in the financial sector directly depends on the possibility of obtaining significant information from the participants in the criminal process regarding the nature and form of the financial transactions carried out, which provides an understanding of the time, place, and circumstances of the loss of control over funds.

Research into the use of procedural interviews as an effective means of procedural communication during a pre-trial investigation is relevant and necessary. Effective research will provide an opportunity to improve the results of pre-trial investigations of corruption criminal offenses committed in the financial sector with the participation of officials of financial institutions and the National Regulator.
