Declaration by a person authorized to perform functions of state or local self-government as the subject of a criminal offense

ISSN online: 2617-9776 print: 0869-2491

The article highlights the issue of whether a declaration submitted by a person authorized to perform state or local self-government functions as a financial control measure in accordance with the procedure provided for by the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention of Corruption» and regulatory documents of the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption can be recognized as an oficial document. The characteristics of the concept of «oficial document» provided for in the note to Article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine have been analyzed. A comparison of these characteristics with the properties of e-declarations has led to the conclusion that such a declaration contains the necessary details and has the appropriate form, which is approved by the National Agency for Corruption Prevention. In addition, the e-declaration contains legally significant information that confirms or certifies specific events, phenomena, or facts that cause or may cause legal consequences for the declarant in the form of the emergence (realization), change, or termination of certain rights and/or obligations. At the same time, the e-declaration is not drawn up on behalf of state authorities and other entities specified in the note to Article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as well as on behalf of individual citizens who are granted the right by law to draw up, issue, or certify certain types of documents in connection with their professional or oficial activities. The e-declaration contains information about the property, income, expenses, and obligations of a person authorized to perform state or local self-government functions. That is, information relating exclusively to the declarant and members of his or her family. Accordingly, it was concluded that the declaration of a person authorized to perform state or local self-government functions cannot be classified as an oficial document in the criminal law sense.

Keywords: oficial document, declaration of a person authorized to perform functions of the state or local self-government (e-declaration), subject of a criminal offense, financial control, professional or oficial activities of individuals, criminal offense, anti-corruption requirement.
