В.В. Бондарчукзлочину; 3) суб'єктом кваліфікованого різновидузлочину; 4) суб'єктом видів покарань.У сучасній судовій практиці України поширеним(за вивченою судовою практикою це складає96%) є реєстрація підприємства на підставну особу:на безробітного, малозабезпеченого, на будьякуіншу особу, яка приймає на себе обов'язки засновникапідприємства, керуючись виключно бажаннямотримати за це разову винагороду.Відповідно до п. 18 постанови ПленумуВСУ від 25 квітня 2003 р. N 3 "Про практику застосуваннясудами законодавства про вiдповiдальнiстьза окремі злочини у сфері господарськоїдіяльності" дії осіб, на ім'я яких за їх згодою зареєстрованосуб'єкт підприємництва з метою,,зазначеною в ст. 205 КК, мають кваліфікуватисьяк пособництво фіктивному підприємництву, а вразі, коли їх діями здійснено легалізацію (державнуреєстрацію) суб'єкта підприємництва (підписаннята нотаріальне посвідчення установчихдокументів, призначення на посаду керівникапідприємства тощо), - як виконавство цього злочину[10, c.218].В юридичній літературі висловлюваласьпропозиція щодо можливості кваліфікації за ст.205 КК дій підставних (формальних) засновниківi, одночасно, керівників суб’єктів підприємництва,якi не спроможні оцінити характер i зміствчинюваних ними по службі дій, переконані у їхправомірності та не обізнані у справжній, приховуванійза допомогою суб’єкта підприємництванезаконній діяльності фактичних керівників. Зтакою пропозицією ми погодитись не можемо узв'язку із відсутністю в цих осіб спеціально визначеноїмети злочину, передбаченого ст. 205КК. Також вважаємо необґрунтованою точку зорущодо можливості визнання суб'єктом цьогозлочину інших, відмінних від засновника, осіб,які є службовими особами підприємства за відсутностіспеціальної мети, а також не застосовувалиспеціального способу вчинення цього злочину– неприйняття участі у створенні або придбаннісуб'єкта підприємницької діяльності.Аналіз наукових джерел, судової практикидає підстави вважати, що основною ознакою длявизнання особи суб'єктом злочину, передбаченогостаттею 205 КК є наявність спеціальної мети,яка визначена законом, а особи, які не маютьпрямого умислу на використання в подальшомуствореного/придбаного суб'єкта підприємницькоїдіяльності для прикриття незаконної діяльностіабо здійснення видів діяльності, щодо яких є заборона,не можуть бути засуджені за ст. 205 КК.В той же час, як свідчить судова практика, особи,які становляться фактичними неофіційними керівникамита власниками створеного (придбаного)суб'єкта підприємницької діяльності, часто невстановлюються, до кримінальної відповідальностіне притягуються, а кримінальну відповідальністьнесуть саме підставні особи.Г.Ю.Г. в 2007р. за попередньою змовою зневстановленою слідством особою, умисно, немаючи на меті ведення підприємницької діяльності,зареєстрував на своє ім'я за грошову винагородусуб'єкт підприємницької діяльності (юридичнуособу). Суд відмітив, що Г.Ю.К., незаконновикористав норми законодавства (ст.ст. 81, 87,89 Цивільного кодексу України, ст.ст. 56, 57, 89Господарського кодексу України). Таку оцінкудій Г.Ю.К. ми не підтримуємо, зважаючи на те,що право на здійснення підприємницької діяльності,в тому числі шляхом створення юридичноїособи гарантовано Конституцією (ст. 42). Більштого, далі у вироку суд зазначає, що безпосереднюдіяльність створеної юридичної особи здійснювавне Г.Ю.К., а невстановлені слідством особишляхом здійснення безтоварних операцій.Г.Ю.К. було засуджено за ч. 1 ст. 205 та ч.2 ст. 358 КК України до двох років позбавленняволі, а на підставі ст. 75 КК його було звільненовід призначеного покарання [4].З цього слідує, що на момент створення(придбання) суб’єкта підприємництва у підставнихосіб найчастіше відсутня спеціальна мета -прикрити незаконну діяльність або здійснитивиди діяльності, щодо яких є заборона.Вважаємо, що у цьому випадку необхіднодотримуватись принципу суб'єктивного вмінення,та визнавати суб'єктом цього злочину осіб,які створюють або придбають суб'єкт підприємницькоїдіяльності – юридичну особу з метою,визначеною ст. 205 КК України.Аналіз судової практики засвідчує, що упереважній більшості особи, які створили абопридбали юридичну особу – суб'єкта підприємницькоїдіяльності, не були встановлені. А усправах, направлених до суду за ст. 205 КК, лишеу 2% з них було встановлено осіб, в діях якихбув склад злочину, передбачений ч. 1 ст. 205 КК,і в 3% - кваліфікований склад, передбачений ч. 2ст. 205 КК.В юридичній літературі усталеною точкоюзору є те, що ті фіктивні засновники або набувачіюридичної особи - суб'єкта підприємницької діяльності,які не є його службовими особами i якінадалі не беруть участі у незаконній діяльності,заради прикриття якої створювався чи придбававсясуб'єкт підприємництва, можуть притягува-130 Науковий вісник Чернівецького університету. 2012.
