dc.description.abstract | Electricity theft by individuals and legal entities (corporations) is becoming more frequent
phenomenon, because of inefficient public system and unclearly defined legal system, in which electricity
is protected object. Electricity in our country is produced and transmitted to the end users by public stateowned
corporations.
The system
for
controlling
electricity
sale
and
delivery
is extremely
inefficient.
Laws
and
bylaws
which
regulate
this
area
are
outdated
and,
as such,
give
plenty
of
opportunity
to
the
end users
and
to
employees
in the
public
corporations,
involved
in this
process,
to
make
different
kinds of
abuse
and
criminal
acts.
These
criminal
activities
are
difficult
to
prove
in court
proceedings,
and
the
financial
damage
for
the
state
is substantial.
In
the
last few
years,
Electricity
Distribution
Company
of
Serbia
has started
installing,
the
so-called,
‘smart’
electricity
meter,
and
particularly
on
large,
typically
commercial,
consumers.
The
meters
are
protected
with
verification
mark,
performed
by
authorized
control
bodies,
and
the
electricity
distribution
company
mark.
Consumption
of
electricity
and
registered
events,
such
as opening
the
cover
of
the
meter
which
is sealed
with
an
appropriate
mark,
are
read
by
computers.
Although
electricity
theft
is
estimated
in millions
of
RSD
each
year,
for
every
commercial
user
in particular,
proving
this
criminal
act,
in
a legal court
process,
is very
difficult,
practically
impossible.
The paper presents the ways this criminal act of electricity theft is performed, by the commercial users
- large consumers, on the territory of the police department of Valjevo. Additionally, the paper also deals
with the treatment of public prosecutors and police during the clarification of criminal acts and success in
proving them in the juridical processes. The author especially puts en emphasis on a legal and sublegal act,
which regulate this area in the criminal justice matter. | sr |
