The new steps in the fight against the arbitrariness of officials, bribery and fraud were discussed today at a meeting of the Presidential Council anti-corruption. According to Vladimir Putin’s anti-corruption legislation in the country complies with international standards. Many important decisions have been taken and effective action, but need new measures: for example, the seizure of property and assets obtained by illegal means.
Vladimir Putin has demanded to take tougher action to forfeiture to the State of property of corrupt officials.
“We need to improve a state mechanism as the seizure and forfeiture to the State property acquired on illegal or questionable money, including taking into account international standards. It should recover assets illegally or illegally derived in other jurisdictions” – said Vladimir Putin.
One of the results of the fight against corruption in the country in recent years looks like some kind of a pleasant surprise – those whom public opinion has so far been taken, not without sarcasm called “potential bribe-taker,” ie, government officials, with enthusiastically set about exposing those who tried to bribe. Here are the statistics for the first three quarters of last year.
“From the public servants themselves received more than 5500 notifications of attempts to persuade them to corruption or bribery. According to the facts of criminal cases filed in 2863 and 1700 has already been convicted. In the consideration of applications of citizens and organizations to disciplinary charges were brought in 1700 employees and initiated more than 800 criminal cases, “- said the head of the presidential administration Sergei Ivanov.
Anti-corruption enthusiasm of officials, among others, is explained by the fact that the government formed 2.5 thousand anti-corruption units, which in the first nine months of last year revealed more than 20 thousand violations.
“At the end of proceedings, 340 civil servants were dismissed due to lack of confidence, 176 in connection with the conflict of interest. Just hearing the name of Deputy Governor of the Chelyabinsk region Sandakova, deputy chairman of the government of Yaroslavl region Danilenko, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Marshalkin “- said Sergei Ivanov.
Anti-Corruption Council of the President with the representatives of the country’s leadership allows you to act quickly and effectively. Late last year, for example, it signed a decree that allows you to disclose personal interests of civil servants, and this year is legally “spelled out” rule: the dismissal of “loss of confidence” does not mean for him to escape from responsibility. Implementation of the new “National Anti-Corruption Plan” directly implies the inevitability of punishment.
“establish mechanisms that help identify corruption schemes at any level, to work purposefully, to react, and if necessary, isolated from the society of corrupt officials. Over the first 9 months of 2015 criminal cases of corruption were convicted of more than 8800 people, almost 11,000 officials were disciplined for violation of anti-corruption standards. It is important at an early stage to identify the personal interest of those who are in bad faith disposed of budgetary funds, to open the facts of using straw or affiliated organizations, eliminate the conflict of interests “, – said Vladimir Putin.
For those who lack the confidence that he will be able to resist the temptation, spelled out simple and affordable rules they simply read: if you are in government service, you participate in the decisions that affect issues of sovereignty of the country and the national security, the law forbids securities and accounts abroad. The first admission to the civil service need to disclose their income derived previously – as will become clear in the future, as the impact of a new place of employment to change it.
Now, for failure to anti-corruption bans and deputy regional or local parliament could lose the mandate. Previously, this action was not. In addition, for all categories of civil servants prohibits the exercise of commercial activities and participation in the management of any “economic entity”. There is also a need to “work out legally,” another corruption scheme.
“We all know that there are cases of evasion from criminal liability by transferring bribes to third parties who are not formally associated with the bribe taker. Or conversely, when the very abuse of power takes place in favor of the individual, formally unrelated to the person giving a bribe. I consider it necessary to study the issue of liability in cases where the bribe is given for committing an official action in favor of third parties, not the bribe-giver. And also when a bribe is not given directly to the official, and said a third person “, – Sergei Ivanov said.
The responsibility for the fight against corruption is right at the head of the region, stressed the President. Well, that worked on the case, not a substitute for the work of the empty statements in the style of “shaft on the plan, or a plan for the shaft”, “Anti-Corruption Council” decided to introduce a “specific crime” of giving or receiving a bribe in the amount up to 10 thousand rubles. The investigation of such cases could take magistrates, and can be punished with fines or corrective labor.
“You know, everyone is familiar with the information provided by sociological surveys, the results of these surveys are well known, in general, the citizens positively assess the anti-corruption work being done at the federal level. But this is absolutely not enough. People are faced with corruption on the ground, the so-called petty corruption. In general, the work here is very, very much. And the question is not so in the immediate future to achieve striking some victories in this field. Perhaps this is a difficult task, perhaps even difficult to achieve. But if we stop, it will be worse! Only need to move forward! ” – Vladimir Putin said.
Determined to reduce the level of corruption is possible only by relying on civil society. Activists, for example, activists of the Popular Front is already demonstrated – control of bribery can be much more effective if the government responds to the practical results of their work.
