The complex issues of qualification of environmental crimes related to the legal assessment of persons who jointly commit environmental crimes are considered. It has been established that the issues of legal assessment of accomplices in practice cause difficulties in connection with the assessment of the special wrongfulness of the perpetrators, who, as a rule, seek to hide the presence of guilt by indicating ignorance of the illegality of the actions of their accomplices. Recommendations are given for introducing amendments and additions to the guiding resolutions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which can qualitatively improve the protection of public relations that ensure the safety of the environment and natural resources. It is noted that significant difficulties are associated with the legal assessment of accomplices of illegal hunting, the co-executors of which, by distributing responsibilities for the search, tracking, pursuit, extraction, primary processing and transportation of hunting resources, often hide their true intentions and evade responsibility. At the same time, excessive repressiveness is also noted, suggesting objective imputation in case of illegal hunting, which is unacceptable. Separately, the issues of joint co-infliction in the commission of careless environmental crimes are considered.
