Property right as a kind of bribe

The study reviews the relevant theoretical issues concerning the criminal legal nature of the illegal granting of the property right as a kind of bribe. The paper notes that there is no unified definition of this kind of bribe in the theory of criminal law. The criteria for recognition of the property right as bribes are presented. It is concluded that the terms ‘property right’ and ‘right to property’ are not identical. The property right as bribes should be understood as any legal capacity that has monetary value and is provided by civil law, namely real rights (titles to real property, limited real rights, heirs’ rights to inherited property), right of obligation, an exclusive right to intellectual property assets and related intellectual property designations.
