Dernovyi V. Investigation of the appropriation of another's property, committed by abuse of office with the involvement of foreigners

In the thesis it is stated that corruption criminal offenses committed with the use of foreigners, in particular the appropriation of another's property by abuse of office, is a special public danger. The work outlines a typical scheme of appropriation of public funds using an official position with the involvement of foreigners, which provides for overstatement of the price of the contract concluded with a foreign company and occurs through ensuring the participation in the tender of two related foreign companies, which, acting in concert, in advance overestimated price offers and did not reduce them during the reduction or reduced only formally to create feigned competition. This method is common for the appropriation of funds of a state-owned enterprise during public procurement procedures in which a foreigner is involved. Accordingly, the members of the tender committee, having discretionary powers to choose the supplier of inventory, take concerted action to determine the winner of the tender of a non-resident legal entity with an inflated price offer.
