KIDNAPPING AND UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER AND OTHER OFFENSES

Strahil Goshev

Abstract

This Article is directed to Section IV of Chapter II of the Penal Code, entitled “Abduction and Unlawful Imprisonment”, and in particular to the provisions of Art. 142 and Art. 142a of the Penal Code.

It presents in detail and chronologically the drafting and subsequent modifications of the specific texts of the Penal Code related to the illegal deprivation of liberty, with a view to the development of public relations, legislative and political changes over the years and their current model today.

A detailed analysis of the structure and composition of the two legal norms, a careful examination of subjective and objective features, shows clearly and categorically that they are two rather similar, but at the same time different, crimes against the individual. These are often implemented in the basis of more complex criminal constructs with additional subjective features representing different specific purposes.

Precisely distinguishing between different hypotheses in abduction and unlawful imprisonment is a prerequisite for the precise and correct application of each of the two texts.

Keywords: imprisonment, crime, unlawful, legal, kidnapping
