The bill proposes updating the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences with a provision according to which a legal entity that commits an administrative offence covered by Article 19.28 of the Code (illegal payment on the part of a legal entity) outside the Russian territory is liable to administrative responsibility if this administrative offence is directed against the interests of the Russian Federation and also in cases covered by a Russian international agreement if this legal entity was not held criminally or administratively liable for the respective actions in a foreign state.
It is also proposed to add a new provision to the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences specifying that a foreign legal entity that has committed an administrative offence outside Russia's territory, which is covered by this article and is directed against Russia’s interests, is liable to administrative proceedings according to the standard procedure.
