Decision of the Plenary Session of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 12 of June 10, 2010 on the Case-Law as to the Consideration of Criminal Cases on Creating a Criminal Association (Criminal Organisation) or on Participation Therein
New explanations have been prepared as to bringing to criminal responsibility for the creation of a criminal association (criminal organization), for managing it or structural units within it, as well as for participation therein. Their development is caused by adoption of amendments to be made in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation which, in particular, specify the concept of a criminal association (criminal organisation) proper. The cited association (organization) differs from other kinds of criminal groups due to, among other things, the purpose of committing grave or especially grave crimes, that is, to obtain directly or indirectly financial or other material gains. The concepts of direct and indirect obtainment of the cited gains are disclosed in the Decision. They can be indirect, if crimes do not directly trespass on alien property but can lead to obtainment in the future of monetary assets or rights to such property (or any other material gains) not only by members of an association (organis
ation) but also by other persons.
A criminal association (organization) can exercise its criminal activities in the form of a structured organized group or in the form of an alliance of such groups managed by a single governing body.
The Decision enumerates the features of a structured organized group, of a structural unit of a criminal association, as well as of an alliance of organized groups. It is mentioned in the Decision that the readiness of a criminal association (organization) for making crimes can manifest itself , for example, in acquisition and distribution to participants thereof of crime instruments or other means of committing crimes, an agreement on demarcation of areas and spheres of criminal activities.
The Decision analyses the specifics of bringing to responsibility for organizing a criminal association (organisation) or for participation of minors therein, as well as of the persons holding top positions in criminal hierarchy.
