A HISTORICAL ASPECT OF CARRYING OUT OF THE “PUTINA” OPERATION BY INTERNAL AFFAIRS AGENCIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AS THE MOST EFFICIENT EVENT AIMED AT COMBATING ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME RELATED TO ILLEGAL EXTRACTION AND CIRCULATION OF AQUATIC BIORESOURCES
The organization and implementation of the operation “Fishing season” by the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation has deep historical roots. It began between the XX–XXI centuries, during a difficult economic situation in the country. Significant funds were allocated for its implementation. Considering the results of this large-scale operation, we can claim that the investment paid off. During the operation, close interaction between the internal affairs bodies and other state bodies was established. This experience can and should be used in modern conditions to counteract crime in the field of illegal extraction and trafficking of aquatic bioresources. Therefore, to ensure the economic and environmental security of the state in this area. Thus, the analysis of the historical experience of conduction of the operation “Fishing season” has shown its effectiveness. It was confirmed that there is a need to use this experience at the present stage. The ways of using this experience in the fight against economic and environmental crime in the field of illegal extraction and trafficking of aquatic bioresources are proposed.
