Economic Crimes

The article critically reviews the models of criminal sanctions introduced in Ukraine and the United States for economic criminal offenses. It is emphasized that the meaning of the concept of punishment is inextricably linked to the fundamental category of criminal liability, which means the restrictions provided by criminal law for the exercise of the rights and freedoms of a person for committing a criminal offense. It has been noted that most American courts do not practice “linear” philosophy in terms of sentencing, but on the contrary, take the whole set of unique facts and circumstances with legal significance into account in each criminal case. It has been established that this approach partially resembles the content of paragraph 3, part 1 of Art. 65 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: the court imposes punishment, taking into account severity of the crime, identity of the perpetrator as well as mitigating and aggravating circumstances. It has been also established that in comparison with the American domestic practice of sentencing in general and for economic crimes in particular seems unreasonably humane, such that it is not able to fully implement the purpose of punishment, declared in Art. 50 of the Criminal Code, and therefore, such as objectively unable to restrain the manifestations of illegal behavior in the economic sphere. The large- scale humanization of criminal liability for economic encroachments carried out by the Ukrainian legislator at the end of 2011, combined with the decriminalization of certain acts and the replacement of imprisonment with fines in sanctions of other norms, has intensified such negative trend. Third, the analysis of the content and application of the federal Penal Code demonstrates not only the advantages of this act of the federal criminal law, but also its individual shortcomings. There is a lot of criticism against this document’s provisions in terms of sentencing for economic crimes. The main reason for criticism is the purely arithmetic relationship between the amount of punishment and the amount of material damage caused by such a crime. Based on the results of elaboration of the American experience in terms of normative provision and practice of application of punishments for economic crimes, a position has been expressed on the expediency of introducing a model of limited formalization of punishments in Ukraine.

Problem setting. According to Art. 27 of the Constitution of Ukraine, everyone has an inalienable right to life, no one can be arbitrarily deprived of life, and the state, in turn, is obliged to protect human life. Protection of a person’s life, as a duty of the state, is manifested in the establishment of criminal liability, enshrined in Section II “Criminal offenses against life and health of a person” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, who commit socially dangerous acts. whether there are criminal offenses and what punishments they should be committed. The distinction between crimes such as premeditated murder and negligent deprivation of another’s life is important, as criminal law theory still does not have sufficient information on this issue and does not have a complete list of features of the above crimes, but we tried to identify them in our article. Target of research. Deepening their knowledge on the caution of a person’s life due to inconsistency and drawing the line between possible offenses and conditional authority, clarifying the special characteristics of the perpetrator and the victim, outlining the essential features of the perpetrator and the victim, and researching the regulation of negligent proposal of a new version of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Analysis of resent researches and publications. The theoretical basis for the study of the problem of murder through negligence are the works of legal scholars, in particular, M. Bazhanov, V. Borisov, S. Borodin, V. Glushkov, O. Gorokhovskaya, I. Zinchenko , V. Tyutyugin, O. Us, E. Kisilyuk, V. Kuts, M. Yefimov, S. Likhova, V. Stashis, V. Shablisty and others. Article’s main body. According to Art. 3 of the Constitution of Ukraine, man, his life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security are recognized in Ukraine as the highest social value. Given this constitutional provision, the legislator should pay special attention to the criminal law protection of human life and health as the most important public relations. So it is no coincidence that considering such encroachments as one of the most dangerous in the criminal law dimension, the legislator established criminal liability for their commission in Section II “Criminal offenses against life and health” of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Due to the high public danger and the high prevalence of criminal offenses against human life and health, criminal law theory and law enforcement practice are under increasing scrutiny. Thus, the analysis of judicial practice in recent years shows that, for example, among all murders (Articles 117-119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) the number of persons convicted of deprivation of life due to negligence is about 15 percent annually. In our opinion, it is also advisable to analyze the concept of “murder” by comparing the common and distinctive features of the offenses referred to in Art. Art. 115 and 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. According to scientific results, we can conclude that these offenses have many common features. It is possible to understand the common features and preconditions for the spread of these types of offenses. Conclusions and prospects for the development. A study of issues related to the criminal law analysis of murder through negligence and its difference from other types of murder, shows that these acts encroach on the identical object, which is “human life as a set of social relations.” Unfortunately, nowadays the dynamics of offenses committed in Art. Art. 115 and 119 is intensifying, so consideration of their delimitation and characterization of their features is very important. The study examines the main features of these types of crimes, as well as analyzes some provisions of national law and proposes some adjustments to them.

The article highlights the problem of inconsistency of legislative provisions on careless forms of guilt,which are contained in the General Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, to the constructive peculiarity ofcriminal offenses that are provided by the Special Part of this Code.The author draws attention to the problem which emerged due to the future transfer of a significantnumber of criminal offenses from the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses to the book of criminaloffenses of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine. The vast majority of these offenses are constructed so as tohave a formal composition, to wit the consequences outside it. At the same time, the construction of acareless form of guilt and its varieties, recklessness and negligence, the normative models of which arecontained in the General Part of the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine, provides for a mental attitude to theconsequences.It is substantiated that the developers of the draft of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine will have todecide on one of the two directions of the system: either to completely abandon the criminalization ofinconsequent carelessness, leaving the legislative concept of carelessness covering only criminal offenseswith material composition, or to agree with the idea of presence of the inconsequent carelessness within theinstitute of criminal offense.Future problems with determining the form of guilt of criminal offenses are shown, if among theprovisions of the General Part of the projected Criminal Code of Ukraine there is a provision on the limitedpunishment of a careless behavior.The principle of constructing norms on criminal liability for careless acts is proposed, according towhich resultative careless delicts should be provided in the book of crimes, and careless offenses with aformal composition should be misdemeanors.In order to properly cover the provisions of the General Part of the future Criminal Code of Ukraine onthe carelessness of all constructive types of careless offenses, the author proposes to provide two types ofcareless form of guilt: resultative carelessness and inconsequent carelessness.Theoretical modeling of the relevant criminal law norms has been carried out, which will consolidate theinconsequent carelessness and its varieties.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is dedicated to the features of subjects of official crimes in commercial organizations in accordance with the laws of Italy and Russia. Design/methodology/approach Based on the study of Russian and Italian legislation, it was revealed that the Italian criminal law provides for a more extensive system of the criminal law provisions on liability for corporate economic crimes. Findings These norms are in various normative legal acts (civil legislation, separate legislative acts). In the Russian criminal legislation, the norms in the sphere of corporate crimes in the sphere of economy are systematized and are located in a separate chapter of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the list of acts for which liability is provided is significantly narrower than in the Italian criminal law. Originality/value In general, the institute of criminal liability for subjects of economic crimes with special features is adopted and developed as in the Russian criminal law as in the Italian criminal law. The existence of this institution shows the awareness by legislators of the increased danger to the society of such persons’ actions owing to the fact that the existence of the official status, special powers of certain duties or the lack of an appropriate indication on the contrary allows such a person to commit an act that is not available to other persons.

The Article 1 of the Constitution of Ukraine regulates: Ukraine is a sovereign and independent, democratic, social, legal state. One of the destabilizing factors in building the rule of law is the commission of criminal offenses by organized criminal groups. Due to the changes in the criminal legislation during the last two years, the criminal law norms have undergone significant changes, which directly or indirectly affect the qualification of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups. Given the changes in criminal law, the qualification of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups requires uniform systemic approaches, primarily at the level of judicial law enforcement practice. The formation of the Ukrainian legal doctrine on the qualification of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups is one of the significant auxiliary guidelines in the formation of such law enforcement practice. To achieve this goal and the defined objectives, the following methods were applied in the study: logical and normative – for the analysis of criminal law on the qualification of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups; system analysis – when considering judicial law enforcement practice (first of all, the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of Ukraine) of the qualification of criminal offenses committed by organized criminal groups. The legislation strengthens criminal liability for criminal offenses by organized criminal groups, in particular, as evidenced by the amendments to the Criminal Code under the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Liability for Crimes Committed by the Criminal Community" dated by the 4th of June 2020. Before the formation of new approaches to the doctrine of criminal law and law enforcement judicial practice on the qualification of criminal offenses (crimes), a specific part of which is provided by h.ch. 1-5 art. 255 of the Criminal Code, the indirect reference is the provision of the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of Ukraine of December 23, 2005 №12 "On the practice of consideration by courts of criminal cases on crimes committed by stable criminal groups." Keywords: criminal offenses, criminal community, criminal organization, organized group, creation of a criminal community, leadership of a criminal community, organized criminal groups.

The article contains critical remarks about the draft of the new system of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which is presented for discussion by its developers and is characterized by the presence of many new provisions. It is established that this system has significant shortcomings, which are associated with the incorrect reflection in the content of criminal law norms of the essential social features of crimes. To identify such shortcomings in the system of criminal law, the concept of "system legislative viruses" is highlighted and the need to have protection against such viruses in the system is substantiated. The necessity to distinguish between the legislative virus, the negative consequences of which in the form of human rights violations are local in nature, and the system legislative virus, the negative consequences of which are large-scale, is substantiated. Legislative viruses that result in violation of the principle of proportionality between punishment and social characteristics of acts are analyzed.  Proposals for improving the system of the Criminal Code of Ukraine have been formulated. In particular, they concern the use of the category "public danger", which must perform a human rights function in the system of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is proposed to classify crimes using the social values ​​they encroach on and the extent of the damage that has been or may be caused. Emphasis is placed on the need to allocate at the law enforcement level the severity (danger) of the crime: 1) with particularly mitigating circumstances, 2) with mitigating circumstances, 3) without mitigating and aggravating circumstances, 4) with aggravating circumstances and 6) with especially aggravating circumstances. The court must impose penalties based on these degrees and the legal restrictions associated with them. The necessity of providing legal certainty on the social basis of criminal liability and restriction of rights for committing a crime, as well as on the legislative assessment of cases of simultaneous commission of several crimes and the rules of their qualification is substantiated. It is proposed to supplement the Criminal Code of Ukraine with Article 2-1 "Rule of Law", which will ensure justice in cases of errors made by the legislator and in other cases where there is a discrepancy between formal legal requirements and social characteristics of the crime.

Статья посвящена вопросам введения уголовной ответственности юридических лиц на Украине. Рассматриваются попытки установления такой ответственности при подготовке нового Уголовного кодекса Украины и в дальнейшем путем принятия в 2009 г. специального уголовного закона об ответственности юридических лиц за совершение коррупционных преступлений. Украина стала первым из постсоветских государств, включившим такие нормы не в уголовный кодекс, а в специальный закон - комплексный нормативный правовой акт, содержащий нормы уголовного и уголовно-процессуального законодательства. Отмечается, что этот закон являлся действующим лишь 4 дня, и приводятся причины признания его утратившим силу. Повторно уголовная ответственность была установлена путем внесения в 2013 г. в Уголовный кодекс Украины изменений, согласно которым юридические лица признаются не субъектами уголовных правонарушений, а субъектами уголовной ответственности, заключающейся в применении судом в уголовно-процессуальном порядке мер уголовно-правового характера в отношении юридического лица. Применение таких мер возможно в случаях совершения уполномоченным физическим лицом уголовных правонарушений (преступлений и уголовных проступков), специально указанных в Общей части Уголовного кодекса Украины. Рассматриваются применяемые к юридическим лицам виды мер уголовно-правового характера: штраф, конфискация и ликвидация юридического лица. Приводятся правила применения к юридическим лицам мер уголовно-правового характера и основания для освобождения юридического лица от применения к нему таких мер. Отмечается, что уголовное судопроизводство по делам об уголовных правонарушениях, при совершении которых к юридическим лицам могут быть применены меры уголовно-правового характера, осуществляется в соответствии с обычной процедурой с учетом особенностей, предусмотренных Уголовно-процессуальным кодексом Украины. Дается краткая характеристика этих особенностей, в том числе указывается, что от имени юридического лица в уголовном процессе участвует его представитель. Рассматриваются его права и обязанности. The article is devoted to the issues of introducing criminal liability of legal entities in Ukraine. The article considers attempts to establish such liability in the preparation of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine and further by the adoption in 2009 of a special criminal law on liability of legal entities for committing corruption crimes. Ukraine became the first of the post-Soviet states to include such norms not in the criminal code, but in a special law - a comprehensive normative legal act containing the norms of criminal and criminal procedural legislation. It is noted that this law was in effect for only 4 days and the reasons for recognizing it as invalid are given. Criminal liability was re-established by introducing amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine in 2013, according to which legal entities are recognized not as subjects of criminal offenses, but as subjects of criminal liability, which consists in the application by the court in the criminal procedural procedure of measures of a criminal-legal nature in relation to a legal entity. The application of such measures is possible in cases of committing by an authorized individual of criminal offenses (crimes and criminal offenses), specially specified in the General Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The types of measures of a criminal-legal nature applied to legal entities are considered: fines, confiscation and liquidation of a legal entity. The rules for the application of measures of a criminal-legal nature to legal entities and the grounds for exempting a legal entity from applying such measures to it are given. It is noted that criminal proceedings on cases of criminal offences in commission of which measures of criminal law nature can be applied to legal persons, is carried out in accordance with the usual procedure taking into account the peculiarities provided by the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. A brief description of these peculiarities is given, including the fact that on behalf of a legal entity its representative participates in criminal proceedings. The rights and obligations of the representative are considered.

The paper investigates the normative regulation of socially dangerous consequences of economic crimes set forth in Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. A legislative structure of economic crimes is rather heterogeneous. Some of them are determined as formal (registration of illegal transactions with real estate — Art. 170; illegal organization and conduct of gambling — Art. 171.2, etc.); others are defined as economic (illegal obtaining of credit — Art. 176; abuse of securities issue — 185, etc.); and the third are defined as formal economic (illegal entrepreneurship — Art. 171; restriction of competition — Art. 178 et al.).The paper analyzes the negative aspects of including the criteria characterizing socially dangerous consequences in the norms-notes to Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, determines the significance of criminological peculiarities of economic crimes in determining the extent of damage caused by economic crimes of different types; the influence of the nature and amount of damage established in the law on the exemption from criminal liability for the commission of economic crimes.It is concluded that a law-maker needs a more uniform approach to determining the types and sizes of consequences caused by economic crimes (types should be, as a rule,” economic”, and the size should be the same for all the crimes) and to the placement of quantitative indicators of consequences (in the note to Article 1 where sequences are specified); to achieving compliance with the rules of differentiation of responsibility in the construction of basic and qualified crimes (large and especially large scale of consequences should be indicate only for the latter); to imposing "unfavorable” sanctions from the point of view of the legal consequences of economic crimes, and, on the contrary, to giving a “favorable” character to the exemption from criminal responsibility under Art. 76.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in comparison with the specified sanctions.

Human health is one of the values that are (among other things) protected by criminal law. It is also one of the basic human rights, guaranteed by both international legal documents and the constitutions of countries as the most important domestic legal acts. In this sense, the state is expected to ensure human health by criminalizing behaviors that endanger health, as well as by imposing criminal sanctions on those who commit such behaviors (e.g. a group of crimes against human health). It is these issues that have come to the fore during the corona virus pandemic and that are the subject of this paper. Namely, during the current pandemic, it has been noticed that the protective function of criminal law is not fully realized, which has resulted in the spread of the said infectious disease. Therefore, in this paper we consider the meaning and goal of criminal protection of human health during the corona virus pandemic, through the legal analysis of criminal offenses in the Criminal Code of Republika Srpska and give certain proposals de lege ferenda.

ABSTRAKPerkembangan teknologi di bidang informasi yang semakin modern sering menyebabkan terjadinya tindak pidana pencemaran nama baik yang dilakukan oleh beberapa orang atau oknum yang tidak bertanggungjawab.Perumusan Masalah Bagaimana pertanggungjawaban pidana pers melalui media online dikaitkan Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana.Bagaimana konsep usulan perbaikan dalam pertanggungjawaban pidana pers melalui media online dikaitkan Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana berdasarkan hukum progresif.Tujuan Penelitian Untuk mengetahui Untuk mengetahui pertanggungjawaban pidana pers melalui media online dikaitkan Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana Untuk mengetahui konsep usulan perbaikan dalam pertanggungjawaban pidana pers melalui media online dikaitkan Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana berdasarkan hukum progresif. Jenis penelitian hukumnya adalah secara normatif . Kesimpulan Pertanggungjawaban pidana pers melalui media online dikaitkan Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana sudah berjalan sesuai dengan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana namun karena adanya Undang-Undang Nomor 40 Tahun 1999 tentang Pers maka Sehubungan dengan kebebasan Pers atau media massa dan ancaman yang masih dirasakan adalah pemberlakuan pasal Fitnah atau pencemaran nama baik dengan lisan atau tulisan pada KUHP. Aturan ini dinilai banyak menghambat kebebasan berekspresi menyampaikan pendapat di masyarakat dan dianggap UU No. 40 Thn 1999 tentan Pers tidak berlaku. Konsep usulan perbaikan dalam pertanggungjawaban pidana pers melalui media online dikaitkan Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana berdasarkan hukum progresif terutama sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku pencemaran nama baik dalam dunia maya (cyber) , yang dimana penerapan hukum ini di tinjau dari KUHP dan UU ITE. Penerapan hukum terhadap tindak pidana pencemaran nama baik ini menggunakan asas Lex spesialis derogat legi generali yaitu dimana pengaturan pencemaran nama baik di dunia maya yang diatur dalam Pasal 27 ayat (3) dan Pasal 45 UU ITE merupakan “Lex spesialis” dari Pasal 310 KUHP yang merupakan “Lex generali” dimana hubungan aturan ini menjadikan sinergi hukum atas kasus pencemaran nama baik. Sarannya antara lain harus ada pemisahan yang tegas terkait mana yang masuk kategori delik pers dan mana yang bukan delik pers; dan Harus dipertegas keberadaan (materiil sphere) dari UU tersebut apakah sebagai UU Tindak Pidana Umum atau Tindak Pidana Khusus, karena penanganannya akan berbeda; Perlu dipertegas apakah delik pers itu adalah delik aduan atau delik umum (laporan delik) karena masa penuntutannya akan berbeda dan apakah dapat ditarik atau tidak, dan pertanggungjawaban pidananya harus dipertegas apakah dilimpahkan kepada pimpinan redaksi, perorangan (wartawan) atau korporasinya; Faktor yang harus diperhatikan dalam pemberitaan adalah pers atau media massa harus bebas dari tekanan kelompok baik internal maupun eksternal, dan suatu berita ditulis dengan cermat, akurat, serta penulisan berita harus lengkap dan utuh, sehingga pihak lain tahu informasi dengan benar dan kesalahan serta ketidak akuratan wajib segera dikoreksi.Kata kunci: pertanggungjawaban pidana pers; media on line; Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana ABSTRACTThe development of technology in the increasingly modern information field often leads to criminal defamation carried out by several people or irresponsible persons. Formulation of Problems How criminal liability of the press through online media is linked to Article 310 of the Criminal Law Act. How is the proposed improvement concept in criminal liability of the press through online media linked Article 310 of the Criminal Law Act based on progressive law.Research Objectives To find out To find out the criminal liability of the press through online media is linked Article 310 of the Criminal Law Code To find out the concept of the proposed improvement in criminal liability of the press through online media linked Article 310 of the Criminal Law Book based on progressive law. This type of legal research is normative.Conclusion Criminal liability of the press through online media is associated with Article 310 of the Criminal Law Act that has been running in accordance with the Criminal Law Act, but due to the Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the Press, In connection with freedom of the Press or the mass media and threats that are still felt was the application of the article Defamation or defamation of good name by oral or written on the Criminal Code. This rule is considered to hamper many freedom of expression to express opinions in the community and is considered Law No. 40 of 1999 about the Press does not apply. The proposed concept of improvement in criminal liability of the press through online media is linked to Article 310 of the Criminal Law Act based on progressive law, especially criminal sanctions against perpetrators of cyber defamation, in which the application of this law is reviewed from the Criminal Code and the ITE Law. The application of the law against criminal defamation uses the principle of Lex specialist derogat legi generali, whereby the regulation of defamation in cyberspace regulated in Article 27 paragraph (3) and Article 45 of the ITE Law constitutes the "Lex specialist" of Article 310 of the Criminal Code which is a "Lex generali" where the relationship of this rule makes legal synergy over defamation cases.The suggestions are that there must be a strict separation related to what is included in press offenses and which are not press offenses; and The existence of the material (sphere) must be confirmed whether the Act is a General Criminal Act or a Special Criminal Act, because the handling will be different; It needs to be emphasized whether the press offenses are complaints or general offenses (offense reports) because the prosecution period will be different and whether it can be withdrawn or not, and criminal liability must be confirmed whether it is delegated to the editor in chief, an individual (journalist) or the corporation; The factor that must be considered in reporting is that the press or mass media must be free from internal and external group pressure, and that a news is written carefully, accurately, and news writing must be complete and complete, so that other parties know the information correctly and errors and inaccuracies must be corrected immediately.Keywords: criminal liability pressl; online media; Article 310 Of The Criminal Law Code
