The fight against trafficking of migrants is a common international concern that ensures the protection of the rights not to be subjected to slavery and conditions similar to slavery. This article deals with the subject of the crime of organizing illegal migration. Particular attention is paid to the status of the migrant, who under certain conditions can be considered the subject of the crime under consideration. In the Republic of Moldova, the trafficking of migrants is protected by the crime of “organizing illegal migration”. Paragraph 4 of Article 3621 of the Criminal Code, exonerates the migrant from criminal liability for the act prejudicial to the organization of illegal migration. However, the issue arises when the migrant is the object of the crime within the meaning of the Protocol against Trafficking of Migrants. The article analyzes the special quality of the subject of the crime and of the beneficiaries of international humanitarian protection. In the author’s opinion, there are many questions that need to be elucidated, such as: who is the subject of the crime? How old is he/she? What is the special subject of the crime, and what are the conditions when the migrant can be prosecuted? In the author’s view, in order to avoid violations of migrants’ rights, the Moldovan legislature must strengthen its position on the protection of migrants’ rights so that the national criminal law (which responsibly ensures the protection of migrants’ rights) complies with the Additional Protocol on Trafficking of Migrants, having as material object the migrant’s body (material object).

The relevance of the article is that, as is well known, the “vertical” and “horizontal” classifications of objects of crime are generally accepted and accepted in the science of criminal law. “Vertically” the most common is the four-level classification, according to which there are general, generic, species and direct objects. The article analyzes the object of the criminal offense under Art. 211 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, “Issuance of regulations that reduce budget revenues or increase budget expenditures contrary to law”. The article considers the issue of determining the generic, specific and direct composition of a criminal offense. It was found that the budget funds should be understood as: tax revenues received in the relevant budgets; other mandatory payments received in the relevant budgets; income from the use of state-owned property after payment of taxes (fees) provided by law; revenues from paid services provided by budgetary institutions after payment of taxes (fees) provided by law; funds received as a result of the application of measures of civil, administrative and criminal liability, including fines, confiscation, compensation, etc.; part of the profit of unitary state and municipal enterprises; income from foreign economic activity. It is determined that the subject of the crime under Art. 211 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, there can be only normative legal acts. The funds (or rather the consequences in the form of a certain type of damage), actually received and only planned as revenues and expenditures of the state or local budget, must be in the status of the consequence of this act. Such a crime is committed, for example, in cases where an official issues regulations that change only the revenues and expenditures of the budget recorded in the relevant legal act. When an official issues a normative legal act that provides for the illegal write-off of taxpayers’ arrears of taxes, fees and other mandatory payments, the budget does not receive the funds that should have been received. The term “funds” in the current legislation means money in national or foreign currency or their equivalent. That is, the equivalent of money can be called budget funds, if they equally replace the money included in the budget.

The prosecution of a person who has committed a prejudicial act is a priority of the state to protect a public interest, or to defend a fundamental right for which the state has commitments to respect. This article identifies the mental attitude of the subject of the crime towards the prejudicial act of organizing illegal migration. The article also elucidates the extent to which the migrant, who is the victim of the crime, is directed by the perpetrator. Also, attention is drawn to the purpose and motive of the crime. In the same context, it is analyzed what impact the victim’s consent has on the commission of the crime. In the author’s opinion, the analysis of the organization of illegal migration through the prism of its distinct elements plays a fundamental role for the legislation of the Republic of Moldova. It is concluded that the Moldovan legislator must introduce in the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova the phrase “migrants’ trafficking”, in exchange for the current one of “organizing illegal migration”. This conclusion is based on the social requirement to protect the rights and interests of migrants. Thus, the Moldovan authorities will be able to identify the authentic purpose pursued by the perpetrator when violating human values and freedoms (the authorities will make a clear distinction between trafficking of human beings and trafficking of migrants).

In the Republic of Moldova, individuals and legal entities, respectively, can be held criminally liable for handling an event and for arranged bets. It was found that the subject of the offense of arranged betting has the special quality of a person who knows with certainty about the existence of an agreement regarding the cheating of the betting event. It is also not excluded that the organizer of the arranged bet may be the organizer of the bet. In fact, these games of chance can only work and be maintained if the majority of those who bet, lose more than they win. Last but not least, it has been established that those who commit harmful acts in cyberspace, who are liable to criminal liability for handling an event and for arranged bets (and not only), cannot remain incognito. They need to be identified and differentiated from justice.

A person who encourages, instructs or influences a participant in a sporting event or betting event to engage in conduct that would vitiate that event, in order to obtain goods, services, privileges or benefits in any form that are not due to him, for himself or for another person, will be criminally liable in accordance with art. 2421 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova. Instead, if the participant in a sporting or betting event will not fulfil the obligation in question and will adopt the conduct required by the subject of the crime provided in art. 2421 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova, then he can be held disciplinary / contractual liability both for non-reporting and for his behavior contrary to the principle of fair play in the event, but not to criminal liability. In this article, the author argues the need to criminalize the act of participating in a sporting / betting event to partially or completely eliminate the unpredictability of the event in which it evolves, taking into account the principle of ultima ratio.

The Right to health protection is one of the most fundamental constitutional rights. It is subject to criminal legal protection. While the attacks on him appear not only in the form of crimes such as causing harm by negligence (part 2 of article 118 of the Russian Criminal Code), failure to assist a patient (article 124 of the Russian Criminal Code), etc., but also corruption crimes. Corruption threatens the normal relationship between doctor and patient, medical institution and patient, which reduces the quality of medical care. It threatens not only people’s property, but also their lives and health. Manifestations of corruption in health care are different, they are many, and they should all be taken into account in determining measures and means to combat this dangerous social phenomenon. The effectiveness of the fight against corruption in the health sector is largely due to the knowledge of its various manifestations. These problems are the subject of the proposed article
