| Popis: | The absence of significant progress in corruption prevention, as well as a colossal public demand for «tough» methods of combating corrupt officials, make the search for appropriate tools to react on illicit enrichment, including criminal law, relevant. On October 31, 2019 Supreme Council of Ukraine adopted the Law of Ukraine «About amendments to certain legislative acts of Ukraine regarding confiscation of illicit assets of persons, authorized to perform functions of the state or local self-government, and punishment for acquiring such assets». The purpose of the article is to clarify key aspects of the criminalization of illicit enrichment and the risks that may arise from the use of certain approaches in the formulation of an appropriate criminal prohibition. Scientific novelty of the work is that after the supplement of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with Article 368-5 «Illicit enrichment» author is the first, who observed the legislative means of provision certain features of this crime, their main shortcomings and formulated proposals for further improvement of the relevant criminal law norm. Conclusions. Introduction of criminal liability for illicit enrichment meets the urgent requirements of Ukrainian society. In order to criminalize illicit enrichment through third parties the second form of the objective side of this crime was established: acquisition of assets into property by another person or legal entity under the appropriate conditions. A key threat of this approach is violation of personal responsibility principle. In these circumstances, the problem of criminalizing the usage of unreasonable assets of substantive value by a person, authorized to perform the functions of the state or local self-government, has also not been resolved. Certain procedural aspects of the proving should not be considered as a mandatory feature of the crime composition. According to that notes the author proposed to lay down the disposition of Article 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine in another revision. In order to penalize illicit enrichment, the requirements of the compliance of the Article 368-5 Criminal Code of Ukraine sanctions with other norms of law, which determine the responsibility for committing corruption crimes, in particular in terms of imprisonment, as well as the imposition of confiscation of property, should be taken into account. The established legal prohibitions aimed to separate criminal and civil procedure for confiscation of unreasonable assets are artificial and will not facilitate effective corruption counteraction. |
