Law-enforcement bodies must be completely reorganised and improved in order to deal with the growing level of economic crime. This announcement was made on yesterday by Russian Interior Minister Boris Gryzlov while speaking to students at the ministry's Academy for Economic Safety. He said that only bright and well-educated people can stand up to modern crime. Mr Gryzlov added that the ministry has recently started paying more attention to training its employees.
