“It cannot be considered fair that officials who have violated the criminal law are considered in such cases unconvicted and continue to apply for positions in the state or municipal service,” he told RIA Novosti.
Krasnov noted the need to "build a reliable legal barrier" against any possibility of empowering people who "at least once violated the criminal law."
“It is obvious to me, and most citizens will agree with me, that there are types of professional activities, the implementation of which is impossible without a crystal clear reputation.
Otherwise, the employee is deprived of even the moral right to dispose of the instruments of power delegated to him by the state, ”the Prosecutor General noted.
According to the agency, according to Russian law, those citizens whose convictions have been canceled can become officials.
