☠️Russia🇷🇺: The State Duma approves in the third and final reading the law on criminal liability for "drops"

The regulation is already in force.

The law amends Article 187 of the Russian Federation’s Criminal Code (illegal circulation of payment means), establishing that this offense can be punished with up to 6 years in prison.

➡️Full details on sentencing and fine amounts can be found here.

➡️According to the chairman of the State Duma, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has information on at least 30,000 citizens who handed over their bank cards to scammers in exchange for money, and all of them may face criminal charges.

However, the new law provides exemption from criminal liability for those who voluntarily report handing over their card and actively cooperate with the investigation.

➡️The topic has already sparked debate on social media:

🔴“You’re allowed to transfer money... but not really.”

🔴“Better to go back to cash and keep it at home.”

🔴“Though even cash could soon face restrictions similar to those imposed by the authorities in the 1990s.”
