Relevance of the research: In the Russian Federation a temporary suspension from work is provided as a measure of procedural coercion. Many theoretical and practical aspects of the application of this measure have not been fully explored, which complicates law enforcement practice and creates the prerequisites for violating its uniformity.Formulation of the problem: In the science a consensus has not been reached on subjects that may be removed from work. The correlation of temporary dismissal from work as a measure of procedural coercion with dismissal, carried out in a departmental manner. The law does not highlight the grounds for this coercive measure, does not specify the procedure for its election. There are no grounds for canceling a temporary suspension. Objectives and research methods: The aim of the study is to develop an optimal algorithm for applying temporary dismissal from work as a measure of procedural coercion, to determine the circle of subjects to which this measure is applied, to clarify the procedural order of its application, to formulate the grounds for canceling temporary suspension from work. In the work, the method of dialectical materialism was used, which involves the study of phenomena taking into account mutual relations and dependencies. Methods such as formal legal, analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction were also used. Results and key findings: The correlation of the criminal procedure and the “departmental” dismissal is carried out. The grounds for applying this coercive measure are data on the person’s ability to continue to engage in criminal activity and oppose the investigation and judicial examination of the case while on work. Suspension may apply not only to officials, but to any employees, except for deputies and judges. The procedure for suspension from work is generally identical to the procedure for detention. At the hearing, the presence of the accused (suspect) must be ensured.

The police as a law enforcement body of a specific state was created to perform a variety of tasks in order to maintain the law and order in society, to ensure the security of the state, its citizens. In accordance with the role of the police in the legal doctrine of different countries (Germany, France, England, etc.), in due time, there were even separate schools to study this institution. The police are also one of the subjects of anti-corruption. Nevertheless, this does not mean that corruption cannot exist in the ranks of the police. Despite the general increase in confidence in the police and their employees, noted by the All-Russia centre of studying of public opinion over the last few years in the Russian Federation, today the efforts to combat corruption need to be undertaken not only outside, but also within the police departments themselves. It is obvious that corrupt law enforcement bodies are not able to perform effectively and qualitatively their tasks, and this fast poses a real threat to the state, society and the individual. Thus, the task of improving the complex of anti-corruption measures in the police bodies is becoming more urgent. The article presents a comparative legal analysis of anti-corruption in the police bodies of Russia and Germany in modern conditions. The measures of influence are defined, as well as the forms of interaction of law enforcement agencies in the fight against this negative social phenomenon. The authors come to conclusion that the effective system of anti-corruption in police facilitates not only by the system of legislative sanctions adopted in the state, but also by the qualitative implementation of the state’s social policy with regard to civil servants.

Over the years, most of the Russian processualists denied the investigator’s right to engage in actions of covert nature and deemed it impossible to integrate the norms of criminal intelligence legislation in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation adopted on 18.12.2001 No. 174-FZ, rightly referring to the impossibility to vest a single duty-bearer engaged in a preliminary investigation with unprecedented powers. Meanwhile, the latest decades have been marked by active legislative activity in many countries, which in fact has turned covert criminal intelligence and surveillance into a procedural activity. These innovations became specific of a number of countries regardless of their legal system belonging to the Romano-Germanic or Anglo-Saxon legal system, testifying to more profound roots of the problem. The study is also relevant in terms of dissatisfaction, expressed by the Russian law-enforcement authorities, with the crime solvency rate and with the interaction of criminal intelligence detectives and internal affairs investigators. The goal of the study is to identify the procedural provisions governing the investigator’s covert-nature activities and related law enforcement problems. The methodological framework of the research comprises general and particular methods of scientific knowledge: dialectical, systemic, deductive, inductive; synthesis, analysis; comparative legal analysis, statistical and other methods. Results and novelty: it was concluded that the Code of Criminal Procedure provides for the regulation of the investigator’s confidential-nature activities inherent in covert criminal intelligence and surveillance and requiring more detailed elaboration, as concerns the issues of securing the rights of partakers of the said activity; the authors express doubt regarding the justification of the legislator’s differentiation of covert activities under criminal cases into covert investigative actions (Art. 185, 186, 186.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) and covert operational and investigative operations that are in fact identical to the former (Art. 6, Cl. 9-11 of the Russian Federation Federal Law No. 144-FZ as of 12.08.1995 “On criminal intelligence and surveillance”.

The growing complexity of public relations creates a need for the criminalization of some acts and de-criminalization of others. Defamation is one of the offenses affected by this trend. Some time after its de-criminalization, the crime of defamation was brought back to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, there is no actual legal mechanism in Russia that victims of defamation could use to fully protect their rights. The authors point out a trend for acquittals in criminal proceedings initiated after the complaints of private prosecutors when they concern deliberately false information that besmirches the honor and dignity of other people and harms their reputation, when these complaints are filed with the governmental, including the law enforcement, authorities. They present their research of court statistical data regarding cases heard by Justices of the Peace under Part 1, Art. 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation between 2014 and the first half of 2018. The authors have analyzed the practices of Justices of the Peace in Ulyanovsk Region on criminal cases initiated under Part 1, Art. 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. They use the examples of specific criminal cases to prove that judges use clauses of Art. 33 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Art. 6 of the Federal Law «On the Procedure of Handling Applications of Citizens of the Russian Federation» when deciding cases based on Part 1, Art. 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and protect the right of citizens to appeal to the governmental (including law enforcement) authorities; they point out that an appeal to governmental or local governance cannot be viewed as spreading deliberately false information. In this case, private prosecutors have no opportunity to protect their rights even if it is proven that the information is deliberately false, and they also have to bear additional expenses connected with the recovery of procedural costs. Besides, the research includes a comparative legal analysis of legislation on defamation in a number of foreign countries (the USA, China, the UAE and others) as well as the historical-legal analysis of the development of Russian legislation on liability for defamation.

Crime is a multifaceted phenomenon that is becoming more complex in parallel with the development of society. Its growth makes it necessary to research the fundamentals of the theory and practice of coordinating the activities of the law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime. The important factors from the point of view of the state of coordination activities are their proper organizational support, the development of the right strategies and tactics when performing the necessary actions, as well as their effective use by the law enforcement agencies to curb criminal activity. The authors of the paper set the goal of the study, which is to analyze the coordination activities of the law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime. Methods: the methodological framework for the research is the dialectical-materialistic method of cognition, which includes the elements of system analysis, and the specific scientific methods, such as the logical and legal one. Results: based on the legal analysis, the content of coordination activities as the effective coordinated actions in the fight against crime is revealed.

Based on the analysis of the more frequent cases of committing fraud in the banking sector, the features of the criminal-legal characteristics of the offenses provided for by Art. 159.1 and 159.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It was established that Articles 159.1 and 159.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation by virtue of Part 3 of Art. 17 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are special in relation to the general rule providing for liability for fraud in general, and therefore they most fully disclose by the legislator the specific and characteristic features of social relations in the banking sector, which are subject to criminal law protection. Attention is focused on those signs, the definition of which is more difficult in law enforcement. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the direct object of fraud in the banking sector, the disclosure of the content of its objective side, including the method of committing the crime. The subjective signs of fraud in the banking sector are considered. Practical examples of bringing the perpetrators to justice for banking fraud are demonstrated. Based on the results of the study, the author of the work comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve legislation in this area, to strengthen the explanatory and law enforcement activities of the relevant subjects of legal relations. In addition, the analysis of judicial practice given by the author in the study emphasizes its controversial nature. In other words, the author supports the theoretical calculations with an analysis of practical features.
