The author develops her previously proposed approaches to improving the efficiency of prosecutor’s supervision at the pre-trial stage of criminal proceedings in cases of corruption. The author proposes to extrapolate the assessment of corruption risks, developed by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation in relation to its objects of control (audit), to the prosecutorial supervision at the pre-trial stages of criminal proceedings, the objects of which are investigative bodies. The author analyzes indicators of typical risks of corruption based on violations containing signs of corruption committed during the investigation of criminal cases against business entities for their application in the assessment of corruption risks. In scientific literature, many authors point to numerous violations of corrupt nature at the stage of preliminary investigation, especially in criminal cases against entrepreneurs, but the detection and suppression of such violations is not effective. The aim of the study is to formulate proposals for improving the overall effectiveness of prosecutor’s supervision by including relevant corruption risk indicators in the assessment of corruption risks in various areas of prosecutor’s supervision. The objectives of the study are to identify indicators of corruption risks in a specific area — during the investigative stage of criminal cases against entrepreneurs based on the analysis of typical violations committed by the investigative bodies. General scientific methods were used: the method of an integrated approach, system-structural analysis, the extrapolation method, — and specific scientific methods: formal-legal analysis, functional analysis, survey method, case analysis. The study resulted in the identification of indicators of typical corruption risks based on scientific analysis of typical violations during pre-trial investigation in criminal cases against entrepreneurs. The incorporation of these indicators into an automated assessment of corruption risks will improve the effectiveness of prosecutor’s supervision not only at the pre-trial stage of criminal proceedings, but also in other areas of prosecutorial oversight.
