April 4, 2017

Vladimir Putin signed the Federal Law On Amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Article 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

Under the new amendments, acts of hooliganism committed on rail, sea, inland water or air transport, as well as on any other public transport, qualify as a criminal offence.

Furthermore, liability will be established for committing acts of hooliganism that threaten the safe operation of vehicles. The maximum penalty for this crime is imprisonment for up to two years.
