Economic crimes significantly threaten state security by undermining budget systems and diminishing international prestige. In Russia, the shadow economy constituted 43% of GDP in 2015, starkly contrasting with China's 13%. This disparity highlights the urgent need for internal affairs bodies in Russia to prioritize the detection and investigation of economic crimes, which often involve material values obtained through illicit means. The book explores the social and economic consequences of these crimes and their impact on national security.
