The Ministry of Justice proposed to increase the thresholds for large and especially large thefts from 250 thousand to 1.5 million rubles. and from 1 million to 6 million rubles. respectively.
Many of the current criteria have not been revised for more than 20 years and do not correspond to changing economic conditions, leading to criminal prosecution for acts that do not pose a great public danger, said Maria Jose-Ivanina, director of the Department of Criminal and Administrative Legislation at the Ministry of Justice, at a round table in the Federation Council.
During the event, Vice President of the Federal Bar Association Nevar Gasparin proposed to increase the threshold for theft and bribery on an extremely large scale from 1 million to 10 million rubles. The attorney's office representative found no reason to raise the bribe threshold.
