In the conditions of transformational changes caused by Ukraine's European integration aspirations and our country's actual acquisition of the status of a candidate for accession to the European Union, the issue of combating corruption at the appropriate level is becoming more acute. The anti-corruption approach should not be declarative and should include several institutional, legal, educational and educational changes. One of the most important aspects of anti-corruption changes was the formation of a significant number of anti-corruption institutions. This is due to different management models of anti-corruption institutions and the requirements of international anti-corruption conventions adopted within the framework of the UN and the Council of Europe. Thus, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office was established within the structure of the prosecutor's office. Considering the importance of international experience for combating corruption, the purpose of the article is to study the features and significance of the activities of specialized anti-corruption units of the prosecutor's office in foreign countries and the organization model of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office in Ukraine. The methodological toolkit of the research is represented by a complex combination of general logical and special legal methods of scientific knowledge. The complex composition of which made it possible to achieve the goals of scientific research. In particular, the method of analysis, synthesis, generalization, as well as formal-legal, comparative-legal and others was used. It was found that the activity of anti-corruption institutions in general and certain aspects of the activity of specialized anti-corruption units in the structure of prosecutor's offices both in Ukraine and abroad were the subject of scientific interest of many scientists. The article, based on a critical analysis, highlights the issue of correlation between the activities of special anti-corruption units in foreign countries and the level of corruption. The essence, significance, and level of success of the activity of the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office are characterized. We see the prospects for further scientific research in the comparative legal characteristics of the effectiveness of the main anti-corruption institutional models.
