THE CONCEPT AND TYPES OF DIGITAL TRACES, THEIR SIGNIFICANCE IN THE INVESTIGATION OF BRIBERY
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The relevance of this work is due to the scientific problem associated with the fact that in the disclosure and investigation of bribery, where the criminal uses information and telecommunication technologies, certain difficulties may arise related to the detection and seizure of digital traces that characterize the mechanism of a corruption crime. It is noted that there is currently no comprehensive study dedicated to the identification of digital traces in the investigation of bribery. The scientific article proposes the introduction of forensic accounting of electronic traces of a crime, which will improve the interaction between investigators and interrogators located on the territory of different subjects if the same person has committed several crimes. The effectiveness of the investigation of bribery using computer and information technologies directly depends on the correct work on the detection, seizure, and investigation of digital traces. The role of a well-trained specialist who will assist in fixing and removing digital traces is invaluable.
