The relevant document is registered in an electronic database of the lower chamber of parliament. Its authors were two United Russia - Vyacheslav Lysakov and Valery Trapeznikov, and one representative each from the other factions - Andrei Lugovoi / LDPR / Alexander Ageev / "Fair Russia" / Oleg Denisenko and / Communist /.
As told ITAR-TASS Lysakov, who served as first deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, this initiative is the fact that "all civil servants, ranging from municipalities, including the security forces and members of the State Duma and Federation Council members, had no right to open accounts and to own property and securities outside the Russian Federation. " According to him, is "a fundamental point of view of the All-Russian People's Front."
In contrast to the recently introduced and indeed a similar bill from the Deputy Speaker of the "United Russia" Sergei Zheleznyak spravorossa and Ilya Ponomarev, "we say that the Russian elite, in principle, should not have zagranschetov and property abroad," said Lysakov. "If you want to buy stocks - let them buy them here. Want to save money - let them keep them in Russia, - he said. - This is a fundamental view, which is supported by representatives of all factions." "If the top officials, including legislators, argue for the rule of law, they must conform to the legal field, in which we propose to be for all citizens", - the politician. "It will not be" one foot "here, in Russia and the other - abroad, it is wrong" - he warned.
The first deputy chairman of the committee quoted the explanatory note, according to which the adoption of the bill "will put in place a legal framework that regulates the prohibitions and responsible for their violations for the above-mentioned persons," and it "will ensure the independence and impartiality of the Russian Federation of administrative decisions made by this group of people."
"The second question - law enforcement, and ways to monitor and implement the law," - he misspoke. Answering the question of who exactly will be doing this, the deputy said that "we have a variety of services, we have the Federal Financial Monitoring Service, the FSB is, there is a unit of economic security of the law enforcement agencies." "On the one hand, it is a matter of economic security, on the other - national security and moral principles, the question of political stability and social justice" - he said.
Lysakov said that "the bill provides a maximum penalty of fines of up to 10 million rubles, or up to five years imprisonment with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions for up to three years." "The second reading of these figures may change," - he did not rule. The document was recorded as a ban on the purchase of property and securities within three years after the execution of their duties, the rule can also be adjusted, added the MP.
"We have spelled out that the ban will affect individuals holding public office of the Russian Federation, subjects of the Russian Federation gosdolzhnosti, municipal offices, persons performing military service, police officers, agencies of the correctional system, Federal Drug Control Service, Customs, Family Code, prosecutors , the state of municipal employees, "- said Lysakov. "If you need to register separately MOE, it is possible that some of his colleagues propose this as an amendment - he suggested. - In any case, clarification may be on the list of those sanctions."
Predicting the fate of the bill, the developer acknowledged that most likely it will be difficult. "Theoretically, it can be adopted in the autumn, but it will depend on how it treats the deputies, because it applies primarily to those who will take it" - he stated. "I do not think everyone will accept these proposals" with a bang. "But we have, for example, two co-authors of / profile / Committee on Safety / Meadow and Denisenko /" - recalled the deputy.
"But the mass approval of this bill will not, because it is no secret that a number of my colleagues have an account and there is real estate and securities / overseas /" - repeated Lysakov. Meanwhile, he said, the law entitles you to a conditional "amnesty" - within six months after entry into force / January 1, 2013 / it will be necessary to get rid of zagransobstvennosti. "We did not cut to the quick", - assured the deputy, assessing the chances of the initiative to adopt a 50 to 50.
