MOSCOW, January 15 (RAPSI) – Russian lawmakers have proposed for the control of terrorism to limit the amount of funds transferred through online payment service providers to 1,000 rubles (approximately $30), lawmaker Andrei Lugovoi told RIA Novosti.

According to Lugovoi, the Inter-Fractional Working Group drafted a package of bills aimed at toughening of the anti-terrorist legislation. The bills will be submitted on Wednesday.

Earlier, the total amount of payment could not exceed 40,000 rubles ($1,203). Lawmakers propose limiting this sum to 1,000 rubles, Lugovoi said.

Moreover, the restrictions for money transfer operators will be provided. Measures aimed at the senders‘and recipients’ identity must be also imposed.

On January 10, Russian Senator Konstantin Dobrynin proposed criminalizing negligence by law enforcement officials in case such leads to the commission of a terrorist attack. The proposed sentencing structure ranges between seven and 15 years in prison, as along with dishonorable discharge.

Last November, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law a bill increasing liability for terror-related acts. The law establishes a basis for probing the assets of terrorists’ relatives, if there are sufficient grounds to assert that such were acquired as a result of terrorist activity.

If an individual is found guilty of receiving specialized training which could be used to carry out terror attacks, he could be sentenced for a period of time ranging between five and ten years in prison, with an imposed fine of 500,000 rubles.

Establishing a terrorist cell would be punishable with a jail term ranging between 15 to 20 years with a million ruble fine, according to the law. Likewise, participating in a terrorist cell would be punishable with five to ten years in prison, and a 500,000 rubles fine.

The law additionally seeks to elevate liability for the organization and/or financing of an illegal paramilitary group: from a two to seven year sentencing range, to three to ten year range.
