The subject of the research is the normative and methodological sources defining the rights, duties and prohibitions related to service in the internal affairs bodies, as well as the mechanisms of their implementation. The author examines in detail the practical problems that arise in the application of anti-corruption legislation related to the obligation of employees of internal affairs bodies to provide information on income, expenses, property and property obligations, the obligation to notify of a possible conflict of interest, and the restriction of donations in connection with their professional activities. Special attention is paid to some legal positions of the supreme courts (the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation) and courts of general jurisdiction related to the specifics of the legal status employees of the internal affairs bodies. The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific methods of system analysis and generalization of normative, scientific and practical materials; private scientific methods – comparative jurisprudence, logical, technical and legal and others. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the fact that it is a comprehensive study of the problems of legal regulation of anti-corruption components of the legal status employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. The main conclusions of the study are the identified gaps and conflicts in the regulation of the presentation of information on income, expenses, property and property obligations of employees and their family members; ambiguity in the regulation of restrictions on donations by civil and official legislation. In addition, an assessment is given of the established judicial practice in cases involving statements by prosecutors about the transfer of property to the income of the Russian Federation, in respect of which evidence of its acquisition for legitimate income has not been provided. The most significant results include the formulated proposals for improving the current federal legislation on combating corruption.
