The institution of preliminary investigation as a type of corruption factor in the regulation of economic relations in Russia

The article analyses the negative role of preliminary investigation, current norms of the Federal Law «On Operative-Investigative Activity» and Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which allow to put pressure on business structures and destroy private business in the Russian Federation. Analytical, comparative-legal and formal-legal methods were used. The legal possibilities of exerting pressure on private entrepreneurial structures by law enforcement agencies with the possibility of abuse of legal methods and current norms of operative-search and criminal-procedural legislation are demonstrated. The paper summarizes the systematic nature of negative impact on business entities on the part of preliminary investigation bodies, using the current rules of operational-investigative and criminal procedural legislation.
