Socialist-Revolutionaries offer to extend the closed list of grounds for depriving deputies of powers established by Article 18 of the Rules of the Duma. Adding to the environment faction in the regulation amendment will allow the Duma to deprive the mandates of deputies, who for more than six consecutive months without good reason did not participate in the work of the House and his faction.
To change the federal legislation is not necessary. According to it, the basis for the deprivation of the deputy’s mandate becomes the output of his faction. The law on the status of the deputy, though contains a provision that he may withdraw from the faction only on their own, but this will can be expressed not only in the form of action, explained RBC, the press service faction.
Here the case of the MP, though not personally wrote a statement of withdrawal from the faction, but all of his conduct showed their intention to cease operation in the Duma fraction, and, according to lawyers faction. The application for withdrawal from the faction which is the basis for the termination of powers of a deputy, in which case the decision will be formalized fraction, which is then send to the House Committee on Rules together with the draft decision of the State Duma on early termination of powers of a deputy.
Earlier, the head Socialist-Revolutionaries faction Sergei Mironov announced the introduction of a document which deprive powers Ilya Ponomarev. According to him, lawyers faction found the correct base, allowing to do it without changing the law.
«In legal practice, changes in the relationship between people, between a group of people referred to as the action and inaction. And we make amendments if the deputy for six months did not take part in the work of the group, the meetings of the State Duma, is thus by default it loses membership in the faction. This course is primarily about Mr. Ponomarev. We believe that if our colleagues will support this change in the regulations of Article 18, we will have all legal grounds to deprive finally this gentleman’s parliamentary mandate, which he now takes absolutely no right “- said Mironov on Wednesday (his statement RBC the press service of the fraction).
Last week, the TFR said that it plans to initiate an international search Ponomarev followed extradition. The report explained that the UK has taken such a decision due to the fact that Ponomarev outside Russia. Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against the deputy.

Presumably, the vice president of “Skolkovo” Alex Beltiukov prepared two reports, which do not represent scientific value, but instead Ponomarev lectures and seminars, each of which is estimated at $ 30 thousand., Conducted a series of performances lasting up to 18 minutes.
From August 2014 Ponomarev is in the US. Following reports TFR, answering the question of Interfax whether he would ask for political asylum in the United States, the MP said: “No way, under any circumstances.” At the same time, he noted that no legal action will not take Russia as a “legitimizes obviously illegal actions of the Investigative Committee».
Also, according to Ponomarev, at the moment he did not receive notification of excitation in criminal proceedings against him. The deputy noted that the investigators have all his phone numbers. “I spoke with the investigator before, it seems that in August, including when I was in the States. All everyone knows. Therefore wanted – this is pure speculation, grandstanding, “- he said.
