Конфискация имущества как мера уголовно-правового характера в отношении транспортных средств, находящихся в совместной собственности супругов: социально-политическая целесообразность vs ответственность без вины

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of property confiscation as a criminal measure against vehicles jointly owned by spouses. It analyzes the positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which provide justification for the legality of confiscating the joint property of spouses when one of them commits a crime. Certain conclusions are formulated regarding both the relevant trend in criminal law enforcement practice and the balance between the socio-political feasibility of this approach to law enforcement, on the one hand, and the principles of criminal liability, on the other.
