On the nature of a subject of crime under criminal law protection of credit relations (the end)
The nature of a credit as a subject of crime under Art. 176 of the RF Criminal Code is disclosed. It is proved that the notion of «state target credit» has different meaning in financial and criminal law. In fact, its proper interpretation determines whether the relations, in which the public and legal entity acts as not only a creditor, but also a borrower and a guarantor of the obligation fulfillment by the third parties, should be protected by criminal law. The author reveals the content of the state target credit contract. It is noted that there is a justified necessity to change the rules of p. 2 Art. 176 of the RF Criminal Code in order to provide more efficient criminal and legal protection in the sphere of a state credit facility.
