An Object-Structural Analysis of Financial-Fraud Companies’ Relationships

Ivan Vladimirovich Akhremenko

Viktor Dmitrievich Cherepanov

Private investment crime investigations show that, apart from individual fraud companies borrowing funds from individual citizens, there were far-flung networks of companies, banks, and branches united into so-called financial groups.

Companies within those financial groups had a complicated multi-level structure of foundation, managerial, and contractual relationships.

Methods developed for conducting an object-structural analysis of connections and relationships within financial groups have made it possible to assess the significance and roles of individual companies in criminal activities.

Information about the importance of companies serves to define the roles of individuals - the founders or leaders of those companies.

Thus, experts investigating offenses committed by such financial organizations receive extremely valuable additional information about the degree of the involvement of individual persons in organizing criminal operations. That information fills certain gaps and is objective in nature, since it is based on real relationships.

Further development of object-structural analysis methods has to do with modeling flows of borrowed funds, within and outside the financial group, to obtain evidence of misappropriation and to ensure that the trustful depositors get at least some of their money back.
