PENALTIES AND OTHER CRIMINAL LAW MEASURES FOR CORRUPTION- RELATED CRIMES COMMITTED BY AN OFFICIAL OF A PUBLIC LAW LEGAL ENTITY

Abstract

The article gives an analysis of penalties and other criminal law measures
provided for in the Criminal Code of Ukraine for corruption-related crimes
committed by an official of a public law legal entity (Articles 364, 368, 368-5, 369
of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). It also focuses on identifying shortcomings in
their legislative definition, as well as highlighting the peculiarities of the
application of some of them.
The author notes that the legislative definition of penalties in the sanctions
of certain articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine cannot but
raise concerns from the perspective of the rules established by criminal law
doctrine for the construction of criminal law sanctions. The author emphasizes
that the negative legal consequences of committing certain corruption-related
crimes in the sphere of official activity, in addition to punishment, are also
manifested in other measures of criminal law, which can be applied both to
individuals and legal entities.
