Methods of Acquiring or Selling Property Previously Obtained by Criminal Means as an Element of the Forensic Description of Crimes Under Art. 175 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The author studies the methods of acquitting or selling property previously obtained by criminal means as an element of their forensic description and a component of forensic support. The forensic contents of acquiring or selling criminally obtained property are elements, links and relations between the forensic features of crimes under Art. 175 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The issues of differentiating between post-criminal use and illegal disposal of property previously obtained by criminal means are examined. The choice of the method of acquisition or sale is determined by the availability of the criminally obtained property to the subject of this earlier crime and persons connected with him. Specifics of the acquisition or sale (preparing, committing, covering the crime) are examined, including those of a remote type. Remote selling of such property could totally or partially exclude the contact with the buyer.
