It was established that most of them are men (56.4%) aged between 30 and 65 (84.6%), citizens of Ukraine (100%), who have a higher education (35.9%) or professional-technical (32%) education, non-convicts (98.7%) both married and single. They hold the positions of state and other civil servants at the lower and middle levels. All persons who commit the outlined socially dangerous acts are mentally healthy and mentally stable at the time of their commission, and therefore they are not on psychiatric or narcological records.

 Among the subjects of crimes provided for in Art. 366-2 and 366-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, it is possible to single out both corrupt officials who seek to hide the results of their illegal enrichment, and other criminal offenders who hold or have held positions of persons authorized to perform the functions of the state or local self-government.
