Prostitution is prohibited in Russia. This is a criminal offense. For the organization of this act imposed appropriate penalties. They are prescribed in article 241 of the Criminal Code. What is it all about? What sanctions can you run into for organizing prostitution? This is not the worst, but rather serious violation. Therefore, the measures applied to criminals will be appropriate.
No complications
Article 241, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation indicates the penalties that are imposed on those who contain brothels for girls of easy virtue, as well as organize prostitution. This also includes persons who systematically provide premises to the organizers. The first measure prescribed by law is the payment of a fine. It can be of different sizes. The court will establish the exact amount, but it cannot indicate less than 100 and more than 500 thousand rubles. Alternatively, you can recover the maximum income of the defendant for 36 months. Another measure is forced labor. It lasts a maximum of 5 years for the class organizer. The most serious measure for the violation in question is imprisonment. Extremely capable of being 60 months.
Burdens
Article 241 of the Criminal Code is not limited to this. Sometimes there are some aggravating circumstances. They will have to pay more seriously than with the simple organization of prostitution. The factors of burden include:
- use of official position ;
- attraction of minors;
- threats of violence or its infliction.
If the organization of prostitution was associated with the above nuances, a more severe punishment is imposed. Which one? Article 241 of the Criminal Code provides for more than one preventive measure.
The organizer is entitled to 6 years in prison. Additionally, sometimes they may impose a restriction on work in certain fields of activity. And the court is able to make a decision, according to which, the offender will lose the right to occupy specific positions (usually leading). Such bans can last 10 years. In addition to imprisonment (article 241 of the Criminal Code), a suspended sentence of 24 months is imposed. It may not be imposed - this is not a mandatory item. But in practice, imprisonment with its subsequent restriction is quite common. Especially if minors were involved in prostitution. Then the judicial authorities try to impose the most serious punishment.
Under 14 years old
The organization of prostitution is sometimes found with the participation of citizens who have not reached the age of 14. If the organizer attracted such a minor to easy-going behavior for money, he will be punished with the highest level. After all, crimes involving children are usually considered the most serious.
The proposed measures are not much different from those previously given. As in all previous cases, for organizing prostitution with minor citizens under 14 years of age, the offender is entitled to imprisonment. Imprisonment is imposed for a period of 3 to 10 years. Plus, sometimes the court can taboo the activities of a criminal citizen. This restriction will increase compared to the previous case by 5 years. And now it will not be possible to occupy certain positions and work in specific areas for up to 180 months.
The suspended term in article 241 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (part 3) also takes place. It does not differ in its duration from the time limit for attracting minors to prostitution after 14 years of age. So, if the restriction of freedom after imprisonment is imposed by a court decision, it cannot exceed two years. These are the rules that apply in Russia for 2016.
Comments
A huge role is played by comments on the article. They indicate some features of the crime. For example, what is the object of the offense. There are several of them. The immediate (main) object is the morality of citizens, and the additional is health. The objective side includes:
- The direct organization of prostitution.
- Maintenance and maintenance of dens.
- Provision of premises for prostitution (systematic).
Features of the crime
Under the taxonomy can be considered the use of the area more than two times. But organization is a broader concept in this crime. The thing is that under this term they mean any activity that promotes the organization of prostitution. For example, the search for the territory for the content of the brothel. Organization can be carried out by individuals and organized groups. Crime has direct intent. That is, the offender knew and foresaw the prostitution of others.
Who can be judged by Art. 241 of the Criminal Code? Any adequate, sane citizen from the age of 16 years. It is from this period that criminal liability arises for the organization of prostitution. The use of violence means: inflicting physical injuries on the victim, imprisonment, use of psychotropic or any medications, and so on.
