Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov said that the detection of IT crimes in Russia remains at a low level, criticized the work of the investigation in this area. He said this at a coordination meeting on combating crimes using the Internet, digital currency and computer information.
"There is a stereotyped and lack of initiative in the operational work being carried out, a lack of offensiveness, and insufficient effectiveness of the preliminary investigation. In many cases, as they say, there is nothing else between the two crusts. And there are thousands of such cases on a national scale," Krasnov said.
According to him, as a result, the detection rate of such crimes remains one of the lowest: "In recent years, it has not exceeded 27%, and this year it is even lower - 25.9%."
Despite the presence of special units to combat cybercrime in the departments, their work is not carried out properly, the Prosecutor General added.
"According to the results of last year alone, out of more than 400,000 decisions to suspend proceedings in such criminal cases, every fourth was canceled by prosecutors, according to the results of additional investigation, more than 3,000 cases were sent to court," he said.
According to him, the electronic document flow of law enforcement officers with financial market organizations, mobile operators is not sufficiently developed, which leads to the long-term receipt of operationally significant information.
The Prosecutor General's Office added that violations were also identified in the institutions of the penal system. "We are talking, in particular, about the insufficiency of measures to ensure the suppression of cellular signals, blocking the channels for the arrival of prohibited items. In 2023, 19.8 thousand means of communication were seized, including 10.3 thousand in restricted areas, and 12.6 thousand SIM cards, which were used to commit theft of other people's property, crimes against children, drug sales and other serious acts," the department said.
