Financial Crime Prevention Strategies in Russia

In a bid to combat financial crimes, Russian authorities are looking to foreign experience for inspiration. A recent study has highlighted the similarities and differences between Russian and British legislation on financial markets, revealing gaps in Russia’s criminal law regarding socially dangerous acts committed in the investment sphere.

Similarities and Differences in Legislation

The authors of the study analyzed national and foreign legislation, as well as expert opinions from the scientific community. They found that while both countries have similar laws on financial crimes, there are significant differences in their application and enforcement.

• Russia’s criminal law lacks specific provisions for crimes committed using modern information technologies, such as cybercrimes.
• The UK has a more comprehensive legal framework for countering cybercrimes, which has been successful in preventing financial fraud.

Proposals for Improvement

The authors propose that Russia:

• Criminalize socially dangerous acts committed in the financial sphere, including those involving modern information technologies.
• Adopt a more proactive approach to law enforcement, similar to that of the UK.

“This study shows the importance of comparative legal analysis for national lawmaking work and law-enforcement,” said Dr. S.P. Bortnikov, one of the authors of the study. “By studying foreign experience, we can learn from their successes and challenges, and develop more effective strategies for preventing financial crimes in Russia.”

Implications for Policymakers

The study’s findings have implications for policymakers, regulators, and law enforcement agencies in Russia. By adopting a more comprehensive approach to financial crime prevention, Russia can:

• Protect its financial markets
• Prevent fraud
