Abstract

The article analyzes the functioning of specially authorized public authorities and officials for the prevention of corruption in the Russian Federation, as well as in some foreign countries. The author presents the provi sions of various regulatory legal acts establishing the legal status and powers of the relevant anti-corruption bodies of state power. The article clarified the peculiarities of the activities of anti-corruption bodies and officials of a number of foreign countries, whose governments have achieved certain success in minimizing corruption risks, as well as corruption and illegal acts. At present, the question of the possibility of creating in the Russian Federation a separate state authority body with exclusive competence to combat corruption and prevent corruption in state and administrative activities continues to be debatable. The presented work has an interdisciplinary character and is written on the basis of current regulatory legal acts of various branches of law (primarily constitutional and administrative).
