The draft Federal Law provides that crimes of a terrorist or extremist nature may be heard by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation should there be a real threat to the personal safety of those involved with the judicial proceedings, their families, or relatives.
As terrorist activities may be qualified by investigative bodies as banditry as per Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, this article therefore falls within the exemptions to the Criminal Code allowing alteration in territorial jurisdiction for certain crimes.
