Abstract
The European Court of Human Rights(ECtHR)has ruled that illegal indirect entrapment must meet three criteria simulta-neously.This mixed standard requires that the previous direct entrap-ment violates the"essentially passive,"subsequent indirect entrap-ment satisfies the"reasonable foreseeability,"and police entrapment of secondary defendants to commit crimes is considered"decisive."The legal consequences of indirect entrapment are distinguished be-tween general indirect entrapment and illegal indirect entrapment.The basic position of the ECtHR on the consequences of illegal indi-rect entrapment has shifted from supporting mitigating penalties to recognizing procedural dismissal,and general indirect entrapment is considered a mitigating factor in sentencing.Against the backdrop of increasing internationalization of criminal justice standards,the above criteria and positions have strong implications for the improvement of relevant rules in China.
