Abstract

The article distinguishes between financial insolvency and bankruptcy, which is recognized by the economic court as the debtor’sinability to satisfy monetary claims of creditors differently than through the application of the liquidation procedure. The legislation ofUkraine on criminal liability for bankruptcy provides for a fine of two thousand to three thousand non-taxable minimum incomes ofcitizens with the deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years.Bringing an enterprise to bankruptcy, in particular state or state-owned, is very common in Ukraine and outwardly manifests itselfmainly as covert forms of privatization. Such actions against state-owned enterprises result not only in dubious privatization agreements,but also in the destruction of integral property complexes of strategically important objects for the state, a sharp rise in unemployment,and so on.The activity of agricultural enterprises plays an extremely important role in the development of the market economy of Ukraine,as it is caused by attracting a significant amount of investment in the economy of our country and improving the economic situation inUkraine. The share of agriculture in Ukraine’s GDP in 2019 was 8.9%, or almost 360 billion hryvnias.At the same time, for the bankruptcy of an agricultural or state-owned enterprise, the guilty person may be punished by a finewith restriction of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities. The imposition of a penalty in the form of a finewith restriction of certain rights for the commission of this crime is not sufficient to achieve the purposes of punishment and entails aninjustice in the application of criminal law, which cannot be considered acceptable. Conclusions have been drawn on the need tostrengthen criminal liability for bankruptcy of an agricultural, state-owned enterprise and enterprise, in the authorized capital of whichthe share of state ownership exceeds 50 percent.
