Abstract

“Non-material bene'ts” are an important concept in the identi'cation and adjudication of corruption oKences and other oRce-related crimes. Unlike material bene'ts, they do not directly take the form of money, property, or any speci'c economic value. As a result, their determination in judicial practice often raises issues that require careful analysis. The article argues that a clear distinction must be drawn between professional standing, as a social consequence that may arise from managerial activity, and a non-material bene't pursued for personal gain within the meaning of criminal law. An overly broad interpretation of this concept may blur the boundary between managerial misconduct, breaches of oRcial duty, and criminal oKences.

Keywords: Abuse of position and power, non-material bene'ts, oRce-related crimes, personal gain, professional standing, Resolution No. 03/2020/NQ-HPTP.
