Private public prosecution in the criminal procedure mechanism of countering economic crimes

The legal nature of the private public prosecution mechanism for offences committed in the economic sphere has a number of features and differences from other types of criminal prosecution. The investigative component has a decisive influence on the form and conduct of criminal proceedings in cases of entrepreneurial crime. At the same time, the legal regulation of the prosecution of these crimes clearly deviates from the legal standard of the private public prosecution mechanism. The development of legal measures to regulate the transition from a private public model to a fully private model of prosecution is motivated by the tendency to strengthen the consensual elements in the criminal law enforcement mechanism of countering entrepreneurial crimes. The purpose of the article is to analyze criminal procedure activities in criminal cases of private public prosecution of crimes committed in the field of entrepreneurial activity. Methods: the author of the article uses general scientific methods, comparative-legal, logical methods of analysis and synthesis. The results of the study reveal problems with the use of legal and regulatory instruments as a means of resolving disputes between business entities. Without a reliable legal guarantee for the protection of private interests, the effective protection of the public law interest, which is the legal order of business and other economic activities, may be lost.
