2023
Abstract
The paper focuses on the application of the provisions of Section 256 of the Criminal Code (arranging an advantage in the award of a public contract, in a public tender and a public auction). In the introduction, statistical data from police crime statistics are presented.
The application problems faced by the Czech judiciary in connection with the analysed provision are examined. The author partly identifies with the solutions adopted by the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic in its decisions, partly criticises them and offers arguments why he considers some of them questionable.
