CORRUPTION-RELATED OFFENSES: GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS, CONSEQUENCES, PROBLEMS OF MINIMIZATION AND LIQUIDATION

Abstract

Based on the analysis of the current Russian legislation and the results of law enforcement practice, the article characterizes the nature and role of the Institute of ‘minimization and (or) elimination of the consequences of corruption offenses' in the mechanism of implementation of anti-corruption policy in modern Russia. As a result of the study, a number of proposals to improve the organizational and legal framework of the domestic anti-corruption mechanism were formulated. Any offense is characterized by a certain composition, the elements of which are: the object and the subject of unlawful encroachment, as well as its objective and subjective side. Consequences of offenses can be complex, that is, to cause property damage to the victim simultaneously with infliction of moral damage to him and substantial restriction of his constitutional rights. Depending on the areas of society to which the relations that are harmful belong, we can talk about the political, humanitarian, economic, organizational, social (in the narrow sense), moral, reputational and other consequences of corruption.
