Circumstances excluding criminal liability committed by officials

This article provides a legal analysis of the circumstances excluding criminal liability committed by officials. A certain range of gaps on the part of the legislator and the ways of their solution are given. The importance of this topic cannot be denied. The official in criminal law is a special topic that occupies a special niche. The specific subject of a crime is a sane person who has committed a crime and has reached the age of criminal responsibility. It also has certain features that limit the range of persons who can be prosecuted. It should be emphasized that malfeasance is the only category of criminal acts, the norms of responsibility for the commission of which are brought together in one chapter of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, taking into account the specific specifics of the subject matter. In our opinion, reasonable amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should be recognized as quite relevant, making it possible to "compare" the legal status of public authorities and citizens from the point of view of balancing the measures of criminal liability for offensive statements. Of course, this topic is relevant at the present time.
