Russia plans to tighten control over the financial transactions of foreign agents. Banks may be required to transmit data about their accounts and money movements electronically within three days.
According to the Saratov 24 TV channel, the State Duma will consider the corresponding bill in the near future. The initiative was commented on by the speaker of the lower house of parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin. According to him, this will help to quickly stop suspicious transactions.
Currently, banks are required to provide information about the accounts, deposits and transactions of persons recognized as foreign agents, but they do this mainly on paper. The new law will allow this information to be requested electronically and sets a clear three-day deadline for a response.
“It is important to stop any illegal activities of those who betrayed our country,” said Vyacheslav Volodin. The changes, according to the authors of the bill, will allow government agencies to more quickly receive information and respond to possible violations.
