Features improvement of aggravating circumstances stipulated in Art. 290 of the Criminal Code (bribery)

The Federal law "on combating corruption" provides that receiving a bribe by an official, that is, monetary remuneration for fulfilling obligations that fall within the framework of organizational, administrative and economic functions, or are not included in his official powers, is one of the forms of corruption. For state authorities, this problem has recently become particularly important, since the main platform for ensuring unshakable democracy, a stable constitutional system, unity, sovereignty, and integrity of state borders is the legal system for building state power. The likelihood of criminal prosecution does not give officials an incentive to law - abiding behavior, which creates the need to review the positions of criminal law influence and improve the disposition of this crime. Only an effective system of legal mechanism of influence generates a force that allows society to counteract corruption crimes. The purpose of the research is to study the criminal-legal basis of the crime under art. 290 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation, its qualifying circumstances for the development of a set of proposals for improving legislation, and facilitating the work of law enforcement agencies to prevent corruption-related crimes.
