Abstract
|
The increasing criminal interest in the rarest wild animals and aquatic biological resources related to species listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and (or) protected by international treaties of the Russian Federation, the huge damage caused to the state, as well as the
reduction of the population of such animals and biological resources, determined the introduction of article 258.1 to the criminal legislation. According to the author’s opinion, the norm, covering two
separate corpus delicti, has a rather complicated structure. Therefore, when qualifying the acts provided by it, the difficulties connected with its interpretation often arise. The particular characteristics of
determining the elements of the objective side of the crimes, which consists of alternative acts: illegal (that is, contrary to the established procedure) hunting or capturing, maintenance, purchase, possession,
transportation and trade of the rarest wild animals and aquatic biological resources are analyzed in the article. The basic conditions for the legality of such actions as trade and (or) hunting or capturing
committed with the considered object of the crime are indicated. Special attention is paid to the issue of resolving the competition of paragraph (b) of part 2 with parts 1.1, 2.1 and 3.1 of article 258.1 of the
Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
