“In general, not to mention a specific initiative, the issue of additional liability in connection with the death of firefighters in the event of deliberate arson has a right to exist, it should be considered and should be comprehensively discussed,” Nilov said.
The deputy noted that the issue of doubling the term of responsibility should be carefully studied.
“As far as I understand, they are proposing to increase responsibility.
I will say this, it is necessary to draw a conclusion when amendments to the criminal legislation are prepared.
Here we are talking about an additional qualifying feature and the position of the Supreme Court is important, given the law enforcement practice, ”he concluded.
Earlier, the head of the For Security movement, Dmitry Kurdesov, proposed imprisonment for up to ten years for arson, which caused the death of firefighters.
