Abstract

The basic characteristics of organized crime are also presented. In the continuation paper gives an overview on some methods used by members of an organized criminal group or criminal organization as a whole in order to obscure their criminal activities and avoid criminal prosecutions. An analysis of the practical activities of the police and modern technologies reveals certain possibilities that can lead to the improvement of police work in the field of the fight against organized crime. An analysis of the content of available literature related to the topic of paper was also carried out. To improve the detecting and clarifying rate of organized crime police on the first place must assess either perpetrators or them self. Finally, the synthesis of all methods leads to the conclusion what methods are most effective. All contemporary methods have to be done in respecting of fundamental rights and freedoms that are guaranteed by the constitution and international legal acts. If not so all police and prosecutor work on proving the felonies will ‘fall into water’ where the courts must declare the evidence as un-allowed and unlawful.
