Putin signed a law on the possibility of collecting illegal funds of officials from their accounts

The law already allows real estate, transport and securities to be turned into state income, however, the document allows you to do this with the money that came to the accounts of officials in banks if their amount exceeds the total income for the reporting period and the previous two years.

A prerequisite is the absence of reliable information that confirms the legitimacy of receiving these funds.

The Prosecutor General or prosecutors subordinate to him will check the accuracy of the information.

In December 2021, Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov announced that for the first time in recent years in Russia, the value of assets arrested and seized from corrupt officials exceeded the established damage.
