The State Duma adopted the second package of anti-fraud measures in the first reading.

On February 10, deputies of the State Duma (State Duma) adopted in the first reading the second package of legislative measures to protect Russian citizens from fraudsters, which included about 20 initiatives.

"In the first reading, a bill was passed providing, among other things, additional measures to curb the illegal actions of persons who help fraudsters in withdrawing stolen funds," a publication on the website of the lower house of parliament says.

The document provides for the obligation of banks to strengthen the protection of mobile applications and Internet services from malicious code, as well as to identify cases of its use.

In addition, it is proposed to limit the number of bank cards issued per person, introduce mandatory labeling of international calls and expand the interaction of telecom operators with credit organizations to curb fraudulent schemes.

At the same time, the deputies supported amendments providing for administrative and criminal liability for violations of the rules for the sale of SIM cards, including to foreign citizens.
