Abstract

The article follows the amendments made in part one of the Section 190 “Smuggling” of the Criminal Law of the Republic of Latvia, providing the analysis of the effect brought by the changes in the disposition of part one of the Section 190 on the comprehension of the constituent elements of smuggling, as well as an evaluation of conformity between the changes made in the sanctions of part one of the Section 190 and legislator’s attitude towards harmfulness of smuggling. It is concluded that in amending the legal definition of the smuggling and criminalization threshold, the legislator has not respected the principle of legal certainty. atslēgvārdi: kontrabanda, kriminālatbildības slieksnis, noziedzīga nodarījuma priekš­ mets, tiesiskās noteiktības princips
