Russia is preparing amendments to the Criminal Code aimed at combating fraud. The government has developed amendments to Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, concerning the illegal circulation of means of payment. The changes introduce criminal liability for droppers - people who transfer their bank cards or cash to fraudsters for money or under duress.
According to the new amendments, such actions are punishable by imprisonment for up to six years, as well as fines ranging from 300,000 rubles to 1 million rubles.
Vice Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko noted that these measures will help eliminate the legal gap and make the fight against fraudsters more effective.
