Liability under Article 222 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

Fraud with financial resources (Article 222 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) involves administrative and criminal liability.

The crime committed under Article 222 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is a special type of fraud. The object of the encroachment is the credit and financial system, namely:

• Funding procedure.
• Lending.
• Taxation of business entities.
• Legal interests and rights of creditors.

Composition of the crime according to Article 222 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: sending fictitious information to banks, creditors, relevant state bodies for the possibility of obtaining tax benefits, grants, subsidies, subventions, loans.

A mandatory condition of the crime is the absence of signs of a crime against property in these actions. A very important issue is the presence of intent at the time of committing criminal acts.

Let's consider it with concrete examples. When committing fraudulent actions with financial resources, the intention is to obtain credit funds for temporary use (there is no intention not to return these funds at all by means of possession). If the possession of funds with the intention of return is traced, these actions are qualified under Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud).

In addition, the perpetrator's actions must be active in nature. If the nature of the deception is passive (for example, hiding information), liability under Article 222 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is excluded.

Information is provided:

1. In electronic form.
2. On paper media.

At the same time, the method of presenting information is not important. The key condition for the qualification of intentional actions under this article is the false nature of the information provided, that is, its distortion, inconsistency with reality.

Punishment provided for in Article 222 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: fine from 1,000 to 3,000 tax-free minimum incomes of citizens. In addition, the accused is deprived of the right to hold certain positions for a period of up to 3 years.
