The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation proposed to increase the threshold for grand theft from 250,000 to 1.5 million rubles, and for especially grand theft from 1 million to 6 million rubles, writes RBC. The department explains the initiative with cumulative inflation, as the current criteria have not been revised since 2003. The Federal Bar Association suggested raising the threshold to 10 million rubles, but the Prosecutor General's Office did not support fixing the amounts in bribery cases.
