The article examines the criminal-legal relations arising in connection with the application of judicial fine in Russia and some foreign countries. The purpose of this article is to examine and clarify the specifics of applying judicial fine in our country and a number of foreign countries. It is noted that the institution of judicial fine is a relatively new phenomenon in Russia, and therefore, questions still arise, for example, regarding the appropriateness of their application to wealthy citizens, etc. An analysis of the criminal law norms of a number of foreign countries revealed that the institution of judicial fine exists in one form or another. It should be noted that the conditions for applying this measure in question in Russian and foreign legislation are similar: the number of crimes committed and the severity of the criminal act. However, in some foreign countries, judicial fine are imposed exclusively on a voluntary basis (the Republic of Kazakhstan) and subject to established statutory principles (such as the clarity of the sentence, as in France). Domestic legislators should also clearly establish the principles for the imposition of judicial fines in order to minimize controversial issues regarding their application.
