行贿罪中“谋取不正当利益”的误区与出路

Mistakes and Solutions: “Seeking Illegitimate Interests” in Bribery Crime

自《刑法》将"谋取不正当利益"作为行贿罪成立的必备要件以来,对该要件的解读就一直存在分歧,有关该要件的存废之争就一直没有停息。如果不区分主动行贿与被动行贿,一味地扩大解释就会走进误区,无论主张保留还是废除都是偏见。加大对行贿的打击是反腐的方向之一,区分主动行贿与被动行贿规制行贿行为,是宽严相济的刑事政策的要求,将成为应然的立法选择。在主动行贿中应取消"谋取不正当利益",在被动行贿中应保留"谋取不正当利益",并应对其作限制解释。

Since the ＂Penal Code＂ regarded＂ seeking illegitimate interests ＇~ as a necessary element of brib- ery crime, scholars have disputed whether ＂seeking illegitimate interests＂ should be kept or repealed. If we do not distinguish between active bribery and passive bribery, we will be led into misunderstanding only to blindly interpret this element. Similarly, it is prejudice whether to advocate retention or to repeal it. To distinct be- tween active bribery and passive bribery when we regulate bribery will become an inevitable choice in legisla- tion. ＂Seeking illegitimate interests＂ should be canceled in active bribery, and it should be retained in passive bribery. In addition, we should adopt restrictions explanation to ＂seeking illegitimate interests＂.
