Abstract

The aim of this article is to point out the possibilities of using the first information about the crime of corruption to build a crime story, although the concept of the story is not much common ground for the practice of inquiry. Corruption crimes are characterized by significant problems of the nature of detection and legal evidential value, which makes it complicated for the authorities conducting proper investigations in the case. In the present study the author points to the essence and methods of creating the storyline of events, while leveraging the scientific achievements in the field of open source intelligence and criminal intelligence. With such a scheme drawn up, it is possible to raise the quality of pre-trial proceedings in cases of corruption, as illustrated by numerous examples.
