Summary
На основе судебной практики применения норм об ответственности за предпринимательское мошенничество и доктрины уголовного права сформулированы критерии, влияющие на разрешение вопроса о наличии или об отсутствии признака «сфера предпринимательской деятельности» при квалификации мошеннического посягательства. Одной из отличительных черт объективной стороны данной разновидности мошенничества является указание на то, что оно совершается в сфере предпринимательской деятельности.
