Giving a bribe
Bribery, or bribery, is the illegal practice of giving gifts or money in exchange for favors, benefits, or influence. This can apply to the sphere of business, politics, law enforcement and other spheres. In many countries it is a crime because it undermines the principles of justice, equality and legality. Attempted bribery can lead to corruption, loss of trust in institutions and violation of public order. The authorities usually take measures to prevent this practice and punish those who carry it out.
Ukraine has a problem with corruption, including bribery. The legislation of Ukraine provides for criminal liability for bribery. According to the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a person who provides a bribe may be punished by a fine, arrest or imprisonment.
The Ukrainian authorities implement various measures to fight corruption, including the creation of specialized anti-corruption bodies, such as the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP). These bodies investigate corruption cases, including cases of giving and receiving bribes. In addition, in Ukraine there is a system of electronic declarations, which is designed to ensure transparency in the activities of officials and prevent corruption. Such measures are aimed at reducing the level of corruption and improving citizens' trust in state institutions.
Article 369 of the Criminal Code refers to "Giving bribes". Here is the gist of this article: The purpose of Article 369 of the Criminal Code is to punish persons who provide bribes, that is, persons who provide illegal material or other benefits in the form of gifts, services or other benefits in connection with the performance or non-performance of official duties. Punishment for giving a bribe is a fine from fifteen to one hundred and fifty tax-free minimum incomes of citizens, or restriction of freedom for a term of up to three years, or imprisonment for the same term. If committed by a person holding a higher position, or by an organized group, or by a group with a prior conspiracy or by a prior conspiracy, or if the giving of a bribe infringes on the interests of the state or citizens, shall be punished by imprisonment for a term of three to seven years with or without confiscation of property such.
Article 369 of bribery regulates violations of the requirements of the legislation on the protection of the constitutional order and state security. According to this article: 369 h 1 of the Criminal Code: Provides for criminal liability for attempting to change or overthrow the constitutional order or to seize state power or use an armed attack on them, if these actions are accompanied by violence. 369 h 2 of the Criminal Code: Provides criminal liability for the same as part 1, but without violence.
Legal stages:
Legal practice from Article 369 of the Criminal Code includes various stages that lawyers go through in their professional activities. Here are some of them:
