Abstract

The article discusses the concepts and structure of the forensic characteristics of economic transnational crimes committed using modern computer technologies. It is noted that with the help of forensic characteristics in the investigation of transnational crimes, it is possible to: develop effective methods of investigation; construction of programs, versions and investigation algorithm; determination of directions and forms of interaction between the competent authorities of the interested states during the investigation; drawing up a complete and clear request for international legal assistance, taking into account all the characteristics of crimes of a certain category. The structural elements of the forensic characteristics of economic, transnational crimes include: the subject and setting of the crime, the personality (persons) of the criminal.
 There are two groups of objects of criminal encroachment: the main (referred to the category of object-related economic crimes); subordinates (referred to as the subjects of crimes in the field of the use of computer technology). Therefore, the subjects of economic transnational crimes committed with the use of modern computer technologies include: computer information; documents for the transfer of funds; various means of access to bank accounts, etc. The material carriers of such items of this category of crimes are: payment order, bank check, plastic payment card of any kind, identification card.
