Issues of legal counteraction to fraud related to fundraising for charitable activities

The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that the development of society, the emergence of public organizations has led to the fact that in modern realities, fundraising for charitable activities is carried out, which, in turn, is not always carried out legally. The purpose of this study is to analyze crimes committed in the field of charitable activities of organizations and individuals and to determine measures of prevention and legal counteraction for this type of crime. To date, we are not yet talking about the effectiveness of the state system for preventing pseudo-charitable activities, we consider it necessary to develop legislative regulation of this area and ensure mandatory necessary retraining of law enforcement agencies to increase knowledge in the field of prevention, prevention and legal counteraction of fraud when raising funds for charitable activities. The methodology consists of dialectical, structural, formal legal and comparative legal methods, analysis and synthesis. As part of the study, we analyze the causes of crimes in the activities of charitable organizations, investigated the features of this type of crime, and proposed measures to prevent and counteract the corresponding crime. It is noted that legal mechanisms to combat pseudo-charitable activities are absent from the legislation due to the narrow specificity of this type of crime. Their solution is seen in the development of a set of prevention and counteraction measures, the identification of the corpus delicti in legislation and the creation of a special unit of law enforcement agencies.
