Abstract
Aim. To analyze the financing of terrorism as a criminally punishable act in Russian criminal law and to identify the problems of its legislative formulation. To find out the specifics of individual signs of terrorist financing and their impact on the character and rank crime’s public danger.
Methodology. Methods of induction, generalization, analogy, analysis, comparative legal, formal legal were used in the research process.
Results. Based on the comparative legal analysis of Russian, international and foreign norms, analysis of judicial practice, the article concludes that it is necessary to edit the current criminal law regarding the wording of financing terrorism. The research of Russian judicial practice in criminal cases on financing terrorism allowed us to conclude not only about the autonomy of this act from other forms of assistance to terrorist activities, but also about the influence of the signs of the method, means, as well as the duration of the commission of the crime on the nature and degree of its public danger.
Research implications. The necessity of identifying signs in the act of financing terrorism that affect the increase of its public danger and fixing them in the Russian criminal law is substantiated. Prospects for further studies of the composition of terrorist financing in this part are noted: the greater public danger of the crime can be indicated by such signs as the method, means of committing the crime, as well as the continuing nature of the act.
