Law Enforcement Practice in Criminal Cases of a Crime under Art. 171.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (In Terms of Establishing the Sign “Large Size”)

Abstract

The article is devoted to problematic issues that arise in the practical activities of law enforcement agencies in terms of determining the cost of calculating a large amount of alcohol turnover, which significantly affects the qualification of a criminal act under Art. 171.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The emphasis is placed on the absence in law enforcement forensic practice of a single mechanism for determining the cost of a large size and the need to develop a single calculation algorithm for determining a large size taking into account criminal and criminal procedure legislation indicating the intent of a person to sell alcohol products in order to generate income. It was proposed to add to the current criminal legislation, which defines a common understanding of large-scale calculation.
