“It is planned to amend the code of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses, providing for the expulsion of foreign citizens who have committed gross administrative offenses, including violations of public order,” Kazakova said.

In addition, she recalled that since the end of December last year, foreigners were obliged to undergo fingerprint registration and photographing.

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is considering the possibility of expelling foreign citizens for a number of administrative violations, including for violating traffic rules while intoxicated.

In February, Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev noted an increase in the number of crimes committed by foreigners.
