Methodological issues of investigating corruption crimes in Mongolia

The legal frameworks for combating, preventing, detecting, and investigating corruption crimes are a top priority for professional organizations and their cooperation at both national and international levels. Corruption crimes often involve high-ranking government officials and influential political decision-makers so-called white-collar officials. Although these crimes appear to occur solely between the two persons or parties who are the giver and receiver of a bribe or advantage, they inflict substantial harm on the country's interests and economy due to illegal orders and decisions made by those authorized officials for their personal gain and interests. The impact of corruption crime differs from other types of crime in that it affects all members of society, regardless of their social class, and therefore, is classified as a serious crime or felony.
