In Russia, they want to increase the statute of limitations for officials for inaction

In Russia, they want to increase the statute of limitations for inaction and violation of the procedure for reviewing citizens' appeals from 90 days to one year for officials. As Izvestia found out, such a bill will be submitted to the State Duma in the near future by deputies of the Fair Russia faction led by Sergei Mironov.

"I propose to increase the statute of limitations for bringing officials to administrative responsibility in cases of violation of the procedure for considering citizens' appeals from 90 days to one year. Such cases under the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation are initiated by the prosecutor, they are considered by the world court, and three months may not be enough to initiate a case. This creates the risk of the expiration of the term for punishment and, as a result, the impossibility of bringing the perpetrator to justice," Mironov explained to Izvestia the reasons for the development of the bill.

Currently, according to the law, a citizen's appeal must be considered within 30 days. From the 31st day, the three-month limitation period for bringing to administrative responsibility begins to be calculated.

For violating the procedure for considering citizens' appeals, an official can be fined in court in the amount of 5,000 to 10,000 rubles. These may include fines for delaying responses to written statements, complaints, and suggestions to officials of government agencies, local governments, and state and municipal institutions on a wide range of issues.

"But as soon as 90 days have passed, it is no longer possible to hold a civil servant accountable. It turns out that due to the imperfection of legislation, "unhurried" officials avoid punishment. But it could have affected their business reputation and their future careers. This reduces discipline in the civil service and does not ensure proper protection of citizens' rights to timely consideration of appeals," the parliamentarian stressed.

The list of diseases contraindicated for this punishment will be determined by the government.

Mikhail Delyagin, deputy chairman of the State Duma's Economic policy Committee, said on January 27 that the fine for officials for abuse of office could almost double. He reported on the relevant amendment he had made to the draft of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on tougher penalties for economic crimes. The MP stressed that the amendment proposes to increase the size of the fine for abuse of office.
