Within the framework of the fight against terrorism Russia is to control foreign politicians’ financial operations.
The law about anti-money laundering and anti terrorism financing provides for a special control over the foreign politicians’ financial operations and also a demand for personal information about money transmitters.
The Government is to define measures which will regulate the operations between such politicians and the organizations they deal with in Russia. It also concerns the family members and business partners of the politicians.
This law is worked out to fight against corruption and to improve the legal mechanism of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing.
