Crimes in the sphere of credit relations
Direct object of these crimes are credit relationships, based on
trust and property relations in the sphere of national economy, in which one
party agrees to await the fulfillment of obligations by the other party. They
are regulated mostly by the civil law (contractual relationship). System of
criminal-legal protection of credit relations includes rules: 1) illegal
reception of the credit (article 176 of the criminal code); 2) malicious
evasion from repayment of accounts payable (article 177 of the criminal code);
3) the crimes connected with bankruptcy (articles 195 - 197 of the criminal
code)[1]. All these crimes undermine public confidence in credit relationships,
increase credit risks and the cost of the loan, thereby depriving the national
economy necessary for its development resources[2]. In addition, they affect
the contractual rights of creditors that are further the object of these
crimes. Regulations aimed at protecting the rights of the debtor against the
abuse of the creditor (for example, the rules on usury that exist in the
criminal legislation of almost all economically developed countries), criminal
law of Russia does not know[3]. Illegally obtaining credit (article 176 of the
criminal code). Article 176 of the criminal code criminalizes two separate
offenses: 1) a loan (or soft loan terms) by deception causing major damage
(credit fraud) (1); 2) illegal receipt of the state target credit, and is equal
to its misuse, caused large damage to citizens, organisations or the state
(part 2). The objective of credit fraud include: 1) the action (the loan or
preferential terms of crediting by granting to a potential creditor of
obviously false data on economic position or financial condition of an
individual entrepreneur or organization); 2) consequence (major damage) and 3)
causation. The corpus delicti material. The concept of "credit" in
article 176 of the criminal code remains contentious. The General concept of
the loan the law does not, this term requires doctrinal interpretation[4]. The
word "creditor" used in the civil code to refer to any party's
obligation relations, law which corresponds to the duty of the debtor. Actually
"loan" to the civil code is devoted to: articles 488 and 489, 500
(payment for the goods sold on credit), article 733 (providing for a contract
material the contractor to the customer on credit), § 2 of Chapter 42 of GK of
the Russian Federation (Bank credit), § 3 of Chapter 42 of GK of the Russian
Federation (commercial and trade credit)[5]. Under the loan in article 176 of
the criminal code should be understood as the entry into any contractual
obligation the performance of which involves the transmission of ownership to
the other party of sums of money (or the things determined by generic
characteristics), if the period of performance of the duties under the contract
do not coincide (articles 819, 822, 823 GK of the Russian Federation). In
particular, the loan will be, for example, obtaining of an advance or
pre-payment to assume any obligations, the deferred or installment payment of
any goods, works or services. It appears that the delivery of any goods without
prior payment may also be considered as a loan if the contract expressly
provides for the payment at the time of performance by the supplier of its
obligations (e.g. payment term is not defined). Receiving a privileged loan
means a loan on terms better than normal credit conditions. Privilege always
has a normative character, it needs to be prescribed by the act (at least
local). Way of getting credit or reduced credit terms will be a deception, as
manifested in the granting to potential creditor of obviously false data on
economic position or financial status of a potential debtor. The consequence of
crime is a major damage. Major damage in the sum must not exceed 250 thousand
rubles (note to article 169 of the criminal code). The damage is calculated
taking into account both the lost property and lost revenues (unlike fraud,
where the size of the theft is determined by the value of the stolen). When
fraud is no credit and will not be, because there is no fact of the c aimed at
the entry into the obligation). When fraud liability arises not from contract,
and of tort, and damages, as a General rule, is caused in the form of loss of
property (due to interest the scammer to pay)[6]. When credit fraud agreement
and commitment exist even though the transaction is voidable (the creditor, if
he wishes, may in accordance with article 179 of the civil code of the Russian
Federation to address in court with the requirement about a recognition its
invalid). Thus, in this relationship a contractual obligation is transformed
into a tort (the harm caused by the crime) part of unfulfilled obligations and
uncompensated losses. The subjective side is of credit fraud is characterised by
fault in the form of intent. Essentially, credit fraud implies a deliberate
action. The person realizes that misleads potential creditor wants to obtain a
loan as a result of fraudulent acts. However, the atypical design of the
objective side of the crime - a material composition where the consequences
(damage) are not the same with the result of purposeful actions (obtaining
credit), lets talk about the indirect intent when committing the crime. The
person realizes that misleads potential creditor wants to obtain a loan as a
result of fraudulent acts, admits that may cause damage as a result of a
failure to perform, or treats it indifferently[7]. The subject of credit fraud
- special. This is the head of the organization or individual entrepreneur
under the age of 16 years. The law does not provide for the responsibility of
other employees of the organization, they can act as organizers, instigators or
accomplices. If a supervisor about misconduct by his subordinates did not know
- no crime has been committed.
