ABOUT THE LEGITIMATE INTEREST IN GETTING THE TRUTHFUL INFORMATION AS THE ADDITIONAL DIRECT OBJECT OF THE CRIME PROVIDED BY CLAUSE 173.1 CC RF

In spite of the fact that the figurehead as the element of a legal design (clause 173.1 CC RF) has appeared in the penal legislation for a long time, his/her legal status is insufficiently specified. Owing to it there is an opinion that despite the actual victim’s position from a crime he/she is not under the penal statute protection. As a result of the conducted analysis the authors of the article bring up a question about the criminally-legal protection of a legitimate interest in getting the objective and truthful information by the person involved in the financial and economic activity contrary to his/her will. As in the analyzed criminal-legal rule the potential of such protection is not provided for by the legislator, the authors make the offer about a criminalization of the act consisting both in the evasion from the message to the person to whom the information is provided and representation of obviously not complete or false information.
