Russian President Vladimir Putin is also seen as moving to prepare for his retirement by signing an amendment to the law, which stipulates that former presidents will not be prosecuted for life after their retirement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an amendment to the law on the 22nd, which stipulates the right of former presidents to not be prosecuted after retirement.
According to this, former presidents will not be held criminally or administratively liable for the rest of their lives, and will not be arrested or searched.
Under the previous law, acts during the president's tenure were exempt from liability, but this amendment will expand the scope of acts after retirement.
On the other hand, only serious crimes such as treason are subject to prosecution if confirmed by the Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Court.
This amendment to the law is due to the fact that Putin's constitutional amendment was promoted in July by incorporating the privilege of not arresting former presidents, and a series of movements are prepared after his retirement. It is also seen as a treasure.
Putin said at a press conference on 17th this month that he had the right to run for president after 2024, when his current term expires, but he "has not yet decided." The focus is on President Putin's future outlook.
