The State Duma of the Russian Federation is preparing amendments that will return the full confiscation of property to the Criminal Code
The head of the KPRF legal department, Vadim Solovyov, stated that as a result of a sociological survey of convicted officials, it turned out that they were most concerned about the complete confiscation of property. According to him, the decision to enter it "for the embezzlement of state and municipal property, as well as for bribery," appeared after the arrest of Khoroshavin's funds.
“We realize that if we do not make the appropriate changes to the code and do not return the confiscation, then the overwhelming majority of the property that he had found during the searches will be returned to him,” he said.
The return of the institution of confiscation will also help to eradicate corruption, a member of the State Duma Committee on Civil, Criminal, Arbitration and Procedural Legislation Yuri Sinechshchikov and Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption Dmitry Gorovtsov also said.
Anatoly Vyborny, a member of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, also noted that at the moment Russian officials have “blurred functionality”.
“It is important for us to raise the legal culture and form an anti-corruption model of behavior,” he stressed.
