The article discusses the peculiarities of the committing illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in correctional institutions of the Federal Penal Service of Russia. The author conducted a study of the materials of criminal cases on crimes of the type in question as well as a survey of employees of the penal system, which allowed us to establish a list of the most common ways of committing illicit traffic in narcotics and psychotropic substances. The choice of a specific method of committing a crime is determined by a number of factors: the features of the territory of the FSIN institutions of Russia, the establishment of constant supervision and protection of convicts, the use of special forces and means to detect various prohibited items, including narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. It should be noted that crimes of this type are most often committed by prior conspiracy by a group of persons, which includes a convict serving a sentence in a correctional institution and coordinating the actions of group members by means of mobile communications. Illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances occupies a leading position in the structure of penal crime and poses a huge problem for the penitentiary system: it has a negative impact on the regime, operational environment and can provoke the commission of other crimes, including grave and especially grave ones such as against persons serving a sentence of imprisonment as well as against staff of institutions. A comprehensive study of the method of committing crimes of this type allows you to develop effective methods of counteraction and investigation.

While investigating and prosecuting criminal cases related to illegal drug trade, psychotropic substances and precursors, microobjects found at the scene of crime, as well as on items related to a crime and its participants, assume ever greater evidentiary. In expert practice, narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances often appear as research objects, that are rarely individual compounds. At that greatest difficulties arise while research of substances that are multicomponent systems and mixtures containing a large number of impurity and ballast substances, as well as low concentrations of active substances. So it is difficult to identify the substance that served as the basis for developing a methodology for the investigation of microquantities of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors. Despite the fact that chromatographic analysis is the most common method for the analysis of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors, currently due to high information content, sensitivity and selectivity in the world practice of forensic chemical and medical examination, methods of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detector (HPLC-MS) become one of the most widely used. The use of the HPLC-MS method is the most optimal while research on narcotic, psychotropic substances and precursors by reducing the time of sample preparation, since there is no need for the stage of reagents evaporation and receipt of derivatives, and also it is appear possible to identify non-volatile substances that cannot be analyzed by GC-MS. As a result of the performed researches a methods for the criminalistic research of microquantities of certain narcotic drugs (heroin, morphine, opium, methamphetamine, cocaine, etc.), psychotropic substances (clonidine, bromazepam, ketazolam, trihexyphenidyl, methaqualone, barbital, etc.), precursors (pseudoephedrine, ephedrine) and a poison such as scopolamine using GC-MS and HPLC-MS.

We consider current issues related to the prosecution of persons guilty of committing crimes in the field of illegal circulation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic, potent and poisonous substances. We analyze the problematic moments that arise at the final stage of the investigation of criminal cases of this category, in particular, upon notification of the end of the preliminary investigation and at the stage of familiarization with the materials of the criminal case on crimes related to the illegal circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. We pay attention to the gaps in modern legislation in the area under consideration, we have made suggestions for its im-provement.
