Abstract

The article considers the practice of application of Chapter 26 of the Crimi-nal Code which establishes liability for crimes against environment de lege lata. The author shows the examples of investigative practice where law enforce-ment bodies and courts make different proceeding decisions on same stand-ard situations depending on country regions. Unauthorized mineral extraction (mining) is qualified under Article 158 of the Criminal Code “Theft” or Article 171 of the Criminal Code “Illegal Business” instead of Article 255 of the Criminal Code. There is no unified approach to the assessment of the act of violation of environmental regulations on production works within conservation areas.

Keywords
