PECULIARITIES OF PRELIMINARY AND SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATIVE ACTIONS IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CRIMES COMMITTED BY ORGANIZED GROUPS

Abstract

This article highlights important aspects of investigative actions in the investigation of crimes committed by organized groups. The interaction of the investigator with the bodies and employees carrying out operational-search activities, the procedure for performing procedural actions, such as the implementation of a preliminary investigation, are expressed. The validity of this thesis is related to the investigation of many types of crimes, including the investigation of crimes committed by organized criminal groups. Such a criminological feature is explained not only by provability in the investigation of crimes but also by information about the characteristics of the necessary signs of criminal activity, as well as information about the elements that are used to prove a crime. It is argued that investigators and operatives will identify the forensic nature of the organized criminal activity and compare it with typical forensic data specific to the respective specific type.  The use of forensic methods and tools that help to timely and effectively solve the problems of operational search, investigation and examination at the initial stage of investigating the activities of a criminal group are also expressed. The forensic features of investigations of organized criminal groups by investigators and operatives are highlighted.
