《刑法修正案（十二）》中行贿类犯罪的适用思考

Reflections on the Application of Bribery Crimes in the Criminal Law Amendment (XII)

In order to strictly implement the spirit of strengthening the punishment of bribery crimes and implement the policy requirements of “investigating both bribery and bribery together”, the Criminal Law Amendment (XII) made important revisions and supplements to bribery crimes, revised the statutory penalties for bribery crimes and bribery crimes, and added seven aggravating circumstances for bribery crimes, making bribery and bribery crimes compatible in legislation, so as to better promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party to go deeper. In judicial practice, the content of the Criminal Law Amendment (XII) should be correctly understood, especially the application of the circumstances of aggravated punishment for the crime of bribery should be clarified, and it should not be evaluated repeatedly as the circumstances of conviction and aggravated punishment for the crime of bribery. At the same time, the significance of the revision of the statutory penalty for bribery crimes should be understood. When punishing bribery crimes, the elements of crime of bribery by units and bribery crimes, as well as special circumstances of reduced or exempted punishment, should be strictly compared, and the principle of proportionality between crime, responsibility and punishment and the policy of “combining leniency and severity” should be adhered to.

为了严格落实加大惩治行贿犯罪精神，贯彻“受贿行贿一起查”政策要求，《刑法修正案（十二）》对行贿类犯罪作了重要修改和补充完善，修改了单位行贿罪、行贿罪法定刑，增加了行贿罪七种从重处罚情节，使得行贿与受贿犯罪在立法上相适应，从而更好推动全面从严治党向纵深推进。在司法实践中，应当正确理解《刑法修正案（十二）》的内容，特别是要厘清行贿罪从重处罚情节的适用，不得同时将其作为行贿罪定罪情节和从重处罚情节予以重复评价，同时要掌握行贿类犯罪的法定刑修改的意义所在，在惩治行贿犯罪时严格对照单位行贿罪、行贿罪的犯罪构成要件、特殊减免处罚情节，在坚持罪责刑相适应原则和符合“宽严相济”政策的要求下进行。
