In the second and third readings, the State Duma adopted a bill on confiscation of property for fakes about the Russian army. This is stated on the website of the lower house of parliament.
The draft notes that violators will be deprived of military ranks and state awards, and confiscation of property will also be introduced. Commenting on the adoption of the project, the head of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, wrote on Telegram that a “law on scoundrels” had been adopted. At the same time, at the meeting he clarified that the authors of the initiative are 395 deputies of the State Duma.
“The absolute majority advocates the need to punish traitors who pour dirt on our country from abroad, soldiers and officers participating in the Northern Military District, support and finance the Kiev regime,” Volodin noted.
Let us note that in Russia, since last year, there has already been a law on criminal penalties for the public dissemination of false information about the actions of the Russian army. However, according to the authors of the new project, the scale and sophistication of the information war waged against the Russian Federation has increased. “Fakes and provocations are dangerous weapons,” added the initiative’s developers. They believe that tightening responsibility for fakes and public calls for illegal activities will help more effectively resist information aggression.
The new draft tightens criminal liability. For fakes, it is proposed to introduce confiscation of property, money and valuables, as well as deprivation of special, military, honorary titles and state awards.
