Necessary complicity as a sign of corruption crime

Abstract

The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation does not use the term "corruption crimes", despite this, they form an independent group of attacks. The author of the article considers the necessary complicity to be the prize of corruption crime along with the obligatory participation of a special subject in it-an official who uses his official powers or position, and the mercenary orientation. The stated position is argued by examples of corruption crimes already provided for in the criminal code of the Russian Federation: bribery and illegal participation in business activities. Taking into account the previous research and novelties of the foreign legislator, it is proposed to Supplement the Criminal Law with new anti-corruption norms. The article analyzes the articles contained in the criminal codes of the Kyrgyz Republic and Ukraine, providing for responsibility for illegal enrichment. One of the shortcomings of the relevant Convention norm and the existing examples of criminalization of illicit enrichment of officials in the criminal codes of other states is the impunity of those who contributed to this enrichment. The author offers a solution to this problem.
