Russian government officials announced Saturday that it is preparing a bill to facilitate the confiscation of both money and property from people who are found to violate the law surrounding false information and the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of the Duma, outlined details of the bill on Telegram. He said the draft law will “make it possible to confiscate money, valuables or other property used or intended to finance criminal activities against the security of the Russian Federation.”
Going into further detail, Volodin outlined that the bill aims to deal with Articles 207, 354, and 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, 1996. The relevant offences include “knowingly spreading false information about the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” public incitement of extremist activity, public actions “aimed at discrediting the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” “public calls for actions aimed at violating the integrity of the Russian Federation,” assisting international organizations of which Russia is not a party and “calls for the imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation and its citizens.”
The draft law follows a trend of censorship laws restricting reporting and media coverage of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Circulation and reporting of “false information” surrounding the invasion can result in a prison sentence of up to 15 years.
Volodin says the draft law will go before the State Duma on Monday.
