In addition, fines for forgery of personal documents, seals, stamps and forms have been increased.
Such actions will be punishable by a fine of 40 to 80 thousand rubles, repeated offenses - up to 200 thousand rubles with confiscation of the instruments used to commit the crime.
The bill was developed in the State Duma, reviewed and supported by the government, the Supreme Court and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
