should definitely have a look at the cyberspace. So, the only issue is that the majority
               findings  being  collected  in  a  high  tech  environment  would  not  get  recognized  as  the
               valid  evidence  in  the  investigative  process.  The  point  here  would  be  as  we  progress
               with  our  technological  development  and  deployment  –  we  should  adapt  our  legal
               regulations to those sorts of the changes. In this effort, we would use the case study of
               financial  crime  being  one  of  the  most  challenging  crimes  to  get  proved.  The  main
               reason  to  that  is  a  quite  old-fashioned  legal  regulation  that  would  include  many
               complications which could be overcome using the careful analyzing of the police cases
               from the past and getting them in correlation with the current technological progress. It
               would  appear  that  our  legal  regulations  dealing  with  the  financial  crime  cases  would
               need a deep and comprehensive reform that would offer us an opportunity to make our
               investigations being simpler and more effective.

               Why is it important to make your investigation getting more effective? There are many
               reasons coping with these connotations, but the most significant is that it’s all about the
                                                                                budget being used for your

                                                                                resolve your case in a less

                                                                                you  would  undoubtedly
                                                                                make it getting more cost-
                                                                                effective.  This  is  quite
                                                                                important from the point of
                                                                                view  of  your  country’s
                                                                                economy  that  would  pay
                                                                                every  single  day  of  an
                                                                                investigation  to  the  police
                                                                                officers  working  on  so.
                                                                                Well, the point is to use the
                                                                                advantages       of    cyber
                                                                                technologies  in  order  to
                                                                                make  your  financial  crime
                                                                                investigation  being  less
               time  consuming  and  more  cost-effective.  We  are  aware  of  that  these  sorts  of
               requirements  are  so  typical  for  some  business  projects,  but  also  it’s  important  to
               understand  that  the  policing  should  deal in a  quite  rational manner and  think  smartly
               how  to  apply  its  resources.  Also,  there  are  some  indications  suggesting  that  the
               effectively obtained investigations could reduce the percentage of committed crimes in
               some part of the world for a reason that less people would dare to convict any type of
               criminality because he or she would know that the Police Force could catch them in a
               timely reasonable manner. So, maybe we should try to think about how to simplify our
               investigation procedures and policies and in case of financial crime – the search for the
               marked  banknotes  could  appear  as  a  quite  outdated  approach.  Our  idea  is  to  try  to
               avoid such a sort of the investigative process for a reason it takes a lot of time and hard
               work, so it would be better to try to formulate the new legal regulations that would deal
               with  the  more  obvious  findings  and  offer  us  a  chance  to  prove  the  crime  in  a  much
               easier way.  At  this stage,  it’s quite  significant  to make  a  good model of  the  possible
