 The article contains a comparative legal analysis of the legislation of foreign countries regulating the activities of prosecutors in the fight against corruption. Particular attention is paid to the organization and activities of prosecutorial authorities of CIS countries. Proceeding from the specifics of organization and activity, prosecutorial authorities of foreign countries are endowed with different volumes of powers in combating corruption. The engagement of prosecution authorities worldwide in combating corruption has led to the creation of specialized units within their structure. In many countries, however, an inter-agency opposition exists between specialized anti-corruption bodies and prosecutors offices due to overlapping responsibilities.
 The prosecution authorities of Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and other countries have the greatest powers in the criminal and non-criminal spheres. Prosecutors offices in these countries are empowered to supervise the implementation of anti-corruption legislation and coordinate anti-corruption activities of the entire law enforcement system. A promising direction to improve the effectiveness of prosecution is the introduction of SWOT-analysis in its activities. Moreover, based on interstate training centers, a need for the advanced training of prosecutors persists. Considering the positive experience of creating the European Public Prosecutors Office, the expediency of granting the Coordinating Council of Prosecutors General of the CIS countries with additional powers to coordinate the activities of prosecution authorities in the fight against corruption was substantiated.
