Law amends Article 77 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, expanding the possibilities of applying property confiscation as an additional punishment when suspended sentence is granted. Structurally, the law consists of two points: the first supplements Article 77 of the Criminal Code with a new second part, the second determines the procedure for entry into force. Previously, Article 77 of the Criminal Code did not provide for the possibility of imposing property confiscation when suspended sentence is granted.
Key provisions: 1) property confiscation can be applied as an additional punishment when suspended sentence is granted only in cases of corruption offenses and offenses related to corruption; 2) this is possible only on the basis of a plea agreement; 3) a mandatory condition is the coordination of property confiscation by the parties to the agreement.
