THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF A JUDICIAL FINE AS A MEASURE OF A CRIMINAL-LAW NATURE: PROBLEMS OF LEGISLATIVE REGULATION
The article discusses the disadvantages of the legal regulation of the maximum amount of a judicial ne as a measure of a criminallaw nature. Currently, the procedure for determining the maximum amount of a judicial ne depends on the content of the sanction of the article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The presence of a ne with a high maximum limit (up to ve million rubles) among the main punishments xed in the sanction allows, when a person is released from criminal liability, to assign him a very large judicial ne, since the only requirement for it is that it should not exceed half of the maximum ne provided for in the sanction. However, a judicial ne is not a form of implementation of criminal liability; by its legal nature, it is not a punitive measure, which should also nd expression within the limits of a judicial ne. With this in mind, it is proposed to amend the criminal law and establish a universal maximum amount of a judicial ne as a measure of criminallaw nature of two hundred and fty thousand rubles, with its possible further differentiation downward depending on the speci cs of the sanction of the article.
