Article 232 of the Criminal Code. The organization or maintenance of brothels or the systematic provision of premises for the consumption of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues

Today we will be interested in Article 232 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It regulates the penalties imposed for the organization of brothels, or for providing (systematic) premises for their existence. In general, this is a rather terrible crime. And violators will be punished. Especially the main organizer of this "community". Let us try to understand what kind of crime there is (its composition), and also what measures will be applied to the criminals committing this act.

Standards

In principle, it is not difficult to guess which measures will be taken. The thing is that Article 232 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (its first part) indicates that the content and organization of brothels is subject to criminal liability. For many, it is associated with imprisonment. And it is right. Such a measure will take place in this case.

The deprivation of liberty for the organization or maintenance of brothels and the provision of places to support these, can last up to 4 years. Plus, there is a special additional measure. Criminals will be compulsorily imposed the so-called suspended sentence after release from prison. It is established by the court on an individual basis, but can not exceed 12 months. By the way, the obligation in Article 232 of the Criminal Code is not prescribed. This is an unspoken rule that applies to practice. In fact, according to the law, the restriction of freedom may not take place.

Collusion

In Russia, an even more serious crime is an unlawful act committed by prior conspiracy or simply by several citizens. And a similar case in brothels is not uncommon. Hence, in Art. 232 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation it will be possible to find the punishment imposed in this scenario.

What will the criminals do? First, the punishment will be assigned to each his own. That is, all the established terms and measures will be extended to each participant in the case. No general terms of stay in prison (some believe that you can simply divide these measures "equally" for each person involved in the crime, this is not so).

The imprisonment with collusion or action in the group regarding the organization of brothels of a diverse nature, as well as the provision of premises for these, will last from 2 to 6 years. As already mentioned, for every criminal. They also have the right to impose a restriction on freedom. The conditional term, again, is taken out to each person involved in the criminal case. And it lasts up to 24 months. The exact time limits are rendered by the court after careful consideration of all the nuances.

Organization

Art. 232 of the Criminal Code in a new edition (and not only) implies another rather interesting point. Working in a conspiracy or a group is, of course, a terrible thing. But even more serious is the crime committed by an organized group. Do not confuse it with collusion or arrangement.

Actually, such a violation is punished by the most serious method. If the organized group provided premises for the adoption of psychotropic or narcotic substances, and organized and maintained dens, its participants are sentenced to imprisonment. It is not difficult to guess that this is the main measure. So, you will not be able to escape imprisonment. With such a development of events, the length of stay in prison varies between 3 and 7 years.

Restriction of freedom also takes place. Thus the conditional term can be appointed or nominated, and is not present. In practice, of course, it will be used very often, almost constantly. Restriction of freedom for brothels or provision of premises for these will be no more than 2 years. It is such rules are established by law.

Systematics

And now a little about the peculiarities of Article 232 of the Criminal Code. The thing is that not only the direct organization or maintenance of brothels is punished under this law. It has already been noted that the provision of premises for these is also punishable. Only systematic actions are taken into account. A single act is unlikely to be punished in practice - it is too difficult to prove.

What is meant by systematic provision? When the room is "issued" to criminals for dens more than twice. Many believe that two times already are considered. In practice, things are exactly like this. It is enough to provide a room for a brothel or "narcotic evening" twice to become a direct participant in a crime that will be punishable under art. 232 of the Criminal Code.

Comments

Particular attention should be paid to the comments that help to understand the committed offense in full. It does not always happen, for example, the composition of the crime. If it does not exist, then no one will judge you on this or that article. In any case, it is these rules that are spreading in Russia.

In Article 232 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, comments indicate that the maintenance of a brothel and the organization of activities related to the adoption of psychotropic as well as narcotic drugs has a directed character. That is, participants realize what they are doing. And it is not so important, from what motives - for fun sake or for selfish purposes. The fact remains.

By organization here is meant the search and hiring of a facility where it is possible to conduct direct acceptance of narcotic drugs. The purchase of these is included here. But under the content - deliberate actions that involve the organization of an immediate process.

Composition

It is important to understand what kind of art. 232 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. After all, not everyone will be punished for the committed deeds. The important point here is the age of the participants in the event. Criminal liability for such a violation, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, comes from 16 years. In this case, a person must be originally sane.

The subjective side is characterized by direct intent. That is, criminals are fully aware that they contain or organize a hangout, or repeatedly provide facilities for it. The act may have some specific goal, but it does not influence the composition of the crime. In other words, the motive is not a sign of a perfect wrongful act.
