Annotation:
The article presents necessary penal guarantee of the principle of equality in the conditions of corporate business. In contemporary globalizing of economic and political processes, where property and social inequalities are rising, multiple guarantees of the principle of equality are needed. As the driving force of globalism is corporate business, its social and legal responsibility for peace, a healthy economy and ecology are increasing. In the article the principle of equality of citizens before the law in relation to the principle of differentiation of criminal responsibility is clarified. The authors approach to understanding the guarantee of the realization of the principle of equality is proposed. The legislative establishment of socially sound privileges and immunities for certain groups of entities is not considered a violation of the principle of equality if it is aimed at equalizing the status of persons with social vulnerability. The recommendation on additional criminalization of actions expressed in the creation of privileges not provided for by law and immunity in connection with a persons membership in a certain social group, for example, according to the criteria of official and property status, is justified. The purpose of this article is to propose and justify a relatively new orientation for both researchers and practitioners: in the context of the expansion of corporations to the scale of state corporations, attend to supporting the normal differentiation of criminal responsibility for economic, environmental and other crimes, taking into account the significant differences in the property situation of the subjects of crimes and victims.
