摘要
消费者合法权益因商家销售的商品、提供的服务存在质量问题而遭受侵害,消费者以向新闻媒体曝光或者在自媒体上发布相关信息的手段,向商家索要巨额赔偿的行为是否构成敲诈勒索罪,这一问题在刑法实务界和理论界众说纷纭。对消费者过度维权行为的定性不能"一刀切",必须进行层次性的刑法分析。在遵循罪刑法定原则的前提下,于构成要件层面对各要素进行实质解释,于违法性层面展开实质性法益衡量,从而厘清敲诈勒索财产犯罪与民事财产纠纷的界限。
The consumer’s legitimate rights and interests are infringed upon due to the quality problems of the goods and service provided by the merchants.There are different opinions about whether the consumers’means of exposing to the news media or publishing on the self-media,and the act of asking for a large amount of compensation from the merchant constitute the crime of extortion in the field of criminal law practice and theory.Consumers’excessive protection of rights cannot be determined in a"onesize-fits-all"way.Instead,a hierarchical criminal law analysis must be made.On the premise of following the principle of legality,the substantive interpretation of each element is carried out at the level of constituent elements,and the substantive legal interest is measured at the level of illegality,so as to clarify the boundary between extortion property crime and civil property disputes.
