The specifics of bringing business entities to criminal responsibility is most clearly manifested in the peculiarities of initiating criminal cases of private-public prosecution. The specificity of the private-public procedure for initiating criminal cases in relation to this category of suspects is manifested in the active role of the applicant, who can be considered the subject of accusation (private) proof. The private accusatory activity of the victim, who raises the issue of bringing to criminal prosecution a business entity suspected of committing, is manifested in proving. This proof is carried out in the form of a preliminary check at the stage of initiating a criminal case. The technology of proof in this category of criminal cases is characterized by the formal absence of operational-search activity, which is replaced by an internal investigation conducted in a commercial organization to expose the perpetrator of the crime. The restrictions imposed by law on the seizure of the means of production of an entrepreneur during investigative and other verification actions affect the features of proving.
