08:30; 09 January 2025 year

The Government of the Russian Federation has prepared a bill on the introduction of criminal liability for the registration of individual entrepreneurs for fake individuals. The relevant bill has already been submitted to the State Duma, according to "a href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/7422440 ?tg"> "Kommersant".

We are talking about fictitious sole proprietors who, for rewards, register with citizens to evade taxes or cash out funds. Currently, criminal liability is provided only for the organizers of fictitious companies.

According to the initiative, both the organizers of the schemes with individual entrepreneurs and the fake individuals themselves will now face criminal liability. Penalties for the offense include fines, as well as a term of up to three years in prison. At the same time, individuals who have committed this crime for the first time can be released from responsibility, but subject to active cooperation with the investigation.
