Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The study is relevant due to the increasing number of economic crimes in Ukraine and the urgent need to improve their criminal legal qualification amid integration into the European legal area. Challenges include legislative conflicts, vague evaluative concepts, and inconsistent case law. The study aims to examine the peculiarities of qualifying economic crimes in Ukraine, focusing on criminal law regulation and court practice. Methodologically, it combines content analysis of Supreme Court decisions, comparative legal methods, and formal legal approaches. The author identifies key problems such as misuse of evaluative concepts, errors in determining guilt, and neglect of international experience. Approaches from the EU, USA, China, Italy, and India are analyzed to explore adaptation possibilities for Ukrainian legislation. The study advocates introducing corporate liability, plea bargaining, and mandatory expert economists in complex cases. Its results are practically significant for enhancing criminal legislation, judicial methodologies, training programs, and drafting laws to combat economic crimes effectively.
