Abstract:
The current state of criminal legislation is considered in terms of the contradictions and gaps, which take place in the text of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the difficulties arising in the process of judicial practice. One of the reasons for this is the existence of the so-called "living law", which fills certain gaps in legislation. The article considers the practice of the European Court of Human Rights in terms of assessing the actions of the subjects of the OSA when conducting private operations. The article substantiates the need for legislative regulation of the exemption from criminal liability of officials and confidants participating in various operational-search activities. Special attention is paid to prompt implementation and controlled delivery. The current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in Chapter 8 does not contain such a circumstance excluding the criminality of the act. The grounds for not bringing such persons to criminal responsibility is the Federal Law of August 12, 1995, No. 144-FZ "On Operational Investigative Activities", which does not meet the principle of legality, an integral feature of which is a unified codification of criminal legislation. The wording of the blanket norm in Chapter 8 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is proposed with a declaration that the forced infliction of harm on interests protected by criminal law in the process of operational-search measures carried out in accordance with the Federal Law "On Operational-Search Activity" excludes the crime of the act. Such an unspecified formulation will ensure the stability of the criminal law, but it will require a thorough study and regulation of the conditions of legality and the consequences of their violation for each operational-search activity in the Federal Law "On Operational-Search Activity".
