Specific features of the organized crime investigation in the field of motor vehicle theft and gaps in the regulation of criminal liability for the commission
( Pp. 184-186)

The task. The article states that stolen vehicles in modern realities are increasingly used as «currency» in order to finance terrorism or transnational organized crime. This determines the special actuality of vehicles theft in our time. Conclusions. After analyzing the statistics of recent years (from 2014 to 2019), it is clear that every year there is a decrease in the number of registered cases of vehicles theft, while the crime detection remains at the same low level. The sphere of motor vehicles theft belongs to organized crime. There are always ways to bypass the protective mechanisms of cars. If there is an «order» for a car, it is almost impossible to prevent or stop theft activities. The practical value. A number of problems arise when considering methods of investigation for emerging investigative situations. Some crimes are classified as theft; the interaction of divisions and departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is not at the proper level; the investigation does not use all the available technical and information potential of our time. An effective change in the described situation for this type of crime is in the tightening of judicial practice in this area. Social consequences. The main purpose of vehicle theft «customized» is the taking transport apart to receive remuneration for the return to the owner or sale in the criminal market of vehicles. The structure of transnational organized groups includes corrupt public officials whose role is to legalize their criminal finances and avoid responsibility for criminal acts committed and their concealment. The structure that deals with the vehicles theft most often includes employees of the Interdistrict Registration-Examinational Office STSI, who assist in the «laundering» of stolen cars. The value. At the moment, the investigation of crimes related to the theft of vehicles is chaotic, random and it is impossible to change the situation for this type of crime without the implementation and introduction of the proposals specified in the article.
