Legal Basis For Pursuing Criminal Liability Of Heads Of Non-Governmental Non-Profit Organizations

Abstract

This article examines the concept of non-governmental non-commercial organizations, reveals the content of their activities, shows their differences from non-governmental commercial organizations, and examines the characteristics of a special subject of crime, particularly the officials of non-governmental non-commercial organizations. In addition, the article analyzes the elements of crimes related to abuse of office, bribery, and official forgery, which can be assigned to persons holding leadership positions in NGOs. On the example of notaries engaged in private activities, the problems of law enforcement practice regarding the legal assessment of socially dangerous acts committed were considered, opinions were expressed about the unreasonableness of holding them liable under articles providing for the liability of officials of state administration bodies, and proposals for solving this problem were also presented.
