“Fraudster – Receiver” i.e. the Differences between Crimes as Budget Fraud and the Reception of Stolen/Excise Goods

Abstract

Problems concerning the judicial labelling of active behaviours of budget fraud and the reception of stolen/excise goods are seemingly marginal. Namely, regarding the practice of the Hungarian criminal law, one might consider this question less meaningful and the solid basis of differences rather clear in terms of using proper decisions. This study intends to highlight the importance of the practical judicial labelling concerning the correct assessment of the criminal behaviour, the appropriate loss caused by the criminal activity, the object affected by the unlawful action; moreover, this study tries to cover the questions of possible jurisdictions, as well. The seemingly marginal importance of these questions might cause numerous anomalies in terms of law.
