受贿罪规定慎改论——以“感情投资”型受贿的刑法规制为视角

Comments on the Cautiousness to Amend the Bribery Crime——Focus on the Criminal Regulation of the Emotional Investment Bribery

受贿罪＂为他人谋取利益＂要件表明财物与职务行为的对价关系,该对价关系的存在是肯定受贿行为侵害国家工作人员职务行为不可收买性法益的基础,＂为他人谋取利益＂是受贿罪的必备要件。通过增设＂收受礼金罪＂或者删除＂为他人谋取利益＂修改受贿罪刑法规定进而主张将＂感情投资＂型受贿入罪,二者实质上都是消解了受贿罪的构成要件,否定了收受财物与职务行为对价关系的存在,有违刑法谦抑性。刑法是法益保护的最后底线,修改受贿罪规定应慎重。

The element ＂securing benefits for another＂in the bribery crime shows that there is a quid pro quo between the position of the state functionary and the money or property. And the quid pro quo is the basis to certify that the bribery damages the bribery crime＇s legal——＂Prohibiting buy over official conducts and the national reliance theory＂. ＂Securing benefits for another＂is the indispensable element of bribery crime. The ideas to punish the emotional investment bribery by adding a new crime of accepting monetary gifts or abolishing the element ＂securing benefits for another＂,are truly the amendment of the bribery crime in fact. Both of them substantially clear up the quid pro quo between the position of the state functionary and the money or property,which is contrary to the modest restraint of Criminal Law. Criminal Law is the final-bottom-line to protect the legal interest,it should be cautious to amend the Bribery Crime.
