Duma votes for unified blacklist of people sacked for corruption crimes
Russia’s Lower House has approved a bill that would create a nationwide registry containing the names of civil servants who were fired due to “loss of trust” connected with corruption.
The bill passed its second reading without discussion, with 415 of 450 Lower House MPs supporting it and no one voting against it, RBC’s news site reported on Wednesday.
The bill was prepared and drafted by the Russian Labor Ministry in early 2015 and received approval from the government in August of 2016. The current version would require Russian state agencies to create and maintain a nationwide list of officials fired over corruption scandals or crimes, presumably making it more difficult for them to get a new job. The new rules would apply to civil servants at the federal and municipal levels, military personnel, law enforcement agents, state corporations, and other state organizations, such as the Central Bank.
