- Abstract
This study criticizes the amendments made against the background of a new coronavirus infection (2019-nCoV) to part 1 of Article 236 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which cause the initiation of criminal prosecution for violation of sanitary and epidemiological rules in the process of industrial or household activities (including for non-compliance with non-normative acts), the consequences why they can cause a threat of mass illness or poisoning of people. The authors believe that the alternative corpus delicti, added by the legislator, competes with the identical corpus delicti of an administrative offense provided for in Article 6.3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. In practice, such legislative imperfection predetermines the emergence of controversial issues when qualifying according to the administrative-legal or criminal-legal norm. Arguing their position, the authors formulated and analyzed model situations of violations by individuals or business entities of sanitary and epidemiological legislation that are ubiquitous in everyday life.
