This thesis examines the legal nature, characteristics, and regulation of official crimes committed by officials of commercial organizations. In modern market economies, commercial entities play a crucial role in economic development, which increases the risk of abuse of authority, corruption, and other official crimes within such organizations. The study analyzes existing legal approaches to defining and regulating official crimes in the private sector, identifies key shortcomings in current legislation and enforcement practices, and proposes directions for improving criminal law regulation. Special attention is paid to the differentiation between public-sector and private-sector official crimes, the scope of criminal liability of commercial officials, and the need to strengthen preventive and compliance mechanisms.
