The government wanted to confiscate money stolen by officials. The relevant bill is submitted to the State Duma and published in the system of providing legislative activities (CRED).
The document involves the introduction of a new article entitled “Control over the legality of obtaining funds” to the Federal Law “On Counteracting Corruption”.
It is assumed that bank accounts of civil servants, as well as members of their families, including minor children, will be checked by the prosecutor’s office. If it turns out that the income on them will exceed the total income of the official and his relatives for three years more than 10 thousand rubles, the court will be claimed for the forced withdrawal of these funds to the budget.
At the same time, the bill does not imply the introduction of any new types of checks. The identification of violations will occur within the framework of existing procedures, in particular verification of the reliability and completeness of information about the income of civil servants.
The current order provides for removal in favor of the state only land plots, real estate facilities, transport, securities and cash, but not funds in bank accounts of unknown origin.
