In modern society, corruption as wellmisconduct, unfortunately, I meet very often. People in pursuit of their own profit, as well as the achievement of certain goals, virtually by any means violate the law and neglect the responsibility that was once placed on their shoulders. Excess of official authority is found almost everywhere. Both state officials and representatives of the judiciary can be involved in such crimes. Although the list of violators can be continued, in principle, indefinitely: university professors, employees of medical institutions, the police. Any more or less influential position has its own circle of influence, beyond the boundaries of which sometimes people who have a certain authority in their place are very eager to go.
If a person performs an action thatcan be attributed to a clearly exceeding the list of its capabilities, as a result of which a violation of substantial rights has occurred, in which case there is an abuse of power. The article that regulates this crime is in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. She was assigned serial number 286. The document contains a specific description of such violations, the classification of possible cases, as well as penalties that can be applied by representatives of the judiciary to the perpetrator. After all, a crime is not only theft or murder. This must include the abuse of power. The Criminal Code clearly regulates this point. Let's consider the possible types of this violation of the law, as well as the type of punishment.
If we are talking about a person who, being ona certain position, exceeds its authority, being guided by any goals, infringing upon the rights and freedoms of citizens or enterprises, in this case, the perpetrator may face the following:
- monetary penalty in the amount of 100-200 minimum wage;
- fine in the form of an average salary for 1-2 months;
- the inability to occupy a certain number of positions (the term varies up to 5 years);
- arrest for 1-6 months;
- imprisonment for a term not exceeding 4 years.
If the excess of official powersrecorded for the statesman of the Russian Federation (these include the heads of local governments, as well as officials of the country's subjects), then the penalties will be more severe:
- monetary penalty in the amount of 500-800 minimum wage;
- fine in the form of an average salary for 5-8 months;
- the inability to hold a certain number of positions up to 3 years;
- imprisonment for a term not exceeding 7 years.
Excess of office is realscourge of successful development of the modern economy of the Russian Federation. In connection with the recent increase in the facts of such a crime, the Government decided to more closely track these points. There is also an active policy of preventing violations of this kind. In the future it is planned to further tighten the punishment. This is especially true for those who have serious power and are able to significantly influence the course of events in the country. Namely - representatives of public administration.
Excess of authority should bealways punished to the fullest extent of the law. For this, the assistance of those parties who are victims of this crime is obligatory. Every citizen, as well as a legal entity and an individual entrepreneur are obliged to promptly inform the law enforcement authorities about the fact of a violation. Such preventive methods will make it possible to carry out a complex of investigative measures as soon as possible, to detain the criminal, and also to charge him with appropriate charges. Only the interaction of all participants in this operation can guarantee its successful outcome.
