Features of a Comparative Analysis of Bribery Mediation

The article is devoted to the problem of corruption, which is acute for any state in the world today and poses a serious threat to its national security, more precisely, to one of its hidden manifestations — bribery intermediation. The article considers the peculiarities of criminal liability for committing this crime in some foreign countries (first of all, these are the CIS countries and the former USSR, as well as Mongolia, China, Japan), where this crime, as well as in Russia, is singled out as an independent one. As a result of the analysis, the author identifies three main approaches to the implementation of criminal responsibility for the commission of bribery mediation: through the institution of complicity; through the objective side of the crime and through a special subject of the crime.
