The article presents selected<br>cases of this criminal activity, which included invading the privacy of correspondence, practicing<br>blackmail by the use of compromising materials (for example, regarding the person’s sexual<br>preferences), and oft en combined with intimidation, cessation of investigation proceedings<br>involving off enders, as well as tolerance of protection, nepotism, and alcoholism in the inner<br>circles. While the legal assessment of these activities is challenging, their historical evaluation<br>ought to be easy.</p> ER -
