WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SLAMPER
⚡️Question:
An acquaintance of mine is spreading slander about me everywhere. He also slanders me and appeals to the authorities. In what order and to whom should I apply to hold him accountable?
⚡️Answer:
According to Article 38 of the Law "On Appeals of Individuals and Legal Entities", the submission of defamatory and insulting statements is subject to liability in the prescribed manner.
✅ Article 40 of the Code of Administrative Offenses imposes a fine for libel. If the offender repeats the same act after being administratively prosecuted, he will be prosecuted under Article 139 of the Criminal Code.
✅ At the same time, according to Article 325 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, criminal cases on libel are initiated on the basis of the complaint of the victim (ie you).
✅ So, first of all, you should gather solid evidence against the slanderer's slander against you. If he slandered you, you will need proof to prove that his arguments are slander when the officers of that body summoned you. If, at the time of his appeal, his allegations are proven to be defamatory, you can prosecute him through that body or by filing an application with other law enforcement agencies or a court.
