The State Duma rejected the bill of the State Assembly of Bashkortostan, which proposed to grant investigative authorities the right of immediate access to notary data and original documents from archives. According to RBC, the initiative included the introduction of amendments to the legislation on notaries to speed up the detection of offenses. The relevant committee considered the proposal unnecessary, noting that the current criminal procedure law already contains mechanisms for obtaining the necessary information while complying with the privacy principle.
