ОПЕРАТИВНО-РОЗШУКОВЕ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ПРОТИДІЇ ЗЛОЧИННОСТІ В ОБОРОННО-ПРОМИСЛОВОМУ КОМПЛЕКСІ УКРАЇНИ.

The defense-industrial complex is a component of the security and defense sector of Ukraine, the main task of which is the implementation of mechanisms of public-private partnership and militarytechnical cooperation with foreign countries for the production, supply of new and modernization of existing types of weapons, military and special equipment that meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other bodies of the security and defense sector, as well as to increase the export militaryindustrial potential of the country. Systematization of criminal offenses committed in the defense-industrial complex of Ukraine was carried out, divided into: self-interested encroachments on property (Articles 185, 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and abuse of office (Articles 364, 364-1, 365-2, 366, 367, 368, 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); economic and criminal sabotage that undermines the economic security and defense capability of the country (Articles 330 and 333 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) – uncontrolled movement across the state border of Ukraine of information and products of defense importance that are state secrets or subject to special export control; the defense-industrial complex, as an object of destructive influence by hostile foreign policy agents, can become the cause of crimes against the interests of the state and national security, such as disclosure of state secrets (Article 328 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), espionage (Article 114 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), treason (Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and sabotage (Article 113 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The conducted analysis of the criminal situation in the defense-industrial sphere proved the need for the implementation of a complex, systematic criminal-obstructive influence, including an operationalinvestigative one. Professional concealment of criminal actions by the participants through the use of a network of non-state economic entities and corruption connections is characteristic of such a militaryindustrial sector. Latency of tinted embezzlement schemes, carried out with the participation of illegally operating business entities, determines the priority of the work of operational units in identifying and documenting signs of criminal offenses in this area.
