WAYS OF CONCEALING FRAUD IN CLOSED ELECTRONIC PROCEDURES WITHIN THE STATE DEFENSE ORDER AND ITS DIGITAL DETECTION MARKERS

of the non-public procurement cycle, consistently identifying pre-contractual, organizational, financial, and technological components of countering the investigation. The paper uncovers in detail the criminal schemes of deliberate price inflation, artificial simulation of competition by satellite companies, creation of a semblance of legitimacy for the participants’ actions, as well as the exploitation of the “delayed control” effect and tactical methods of misleading the customer’s officials. It is proved that the existing procedure of departmental acceptance is of a formal and nominal nature and contributes to the camouflaging of defects. Based on the structure of electronic-digital footprints, including AST GOZ datasets, log files, and corporate metadata, a complex of analytical markers for deception detection and signs of crime concealment is proposed. To minimize risks, the author introduces a proprietary methodology for the digital detection of unlawful acts and the establishment of a unified information platform. The study substantiates the necessity of integrating AI algorithms for automated cross-analysis of founders into closed procurement systems, establishing a regulatory framework for specialized departmental auditing, and introducing end-to-end digital regulations for recording results using distributed ledger technology (blockchain) to enhance the efficiency of crime detection in the strategic sector of the economy.
