The president Russia, vladimir Putinunveiled a law this Friday providing for penalties of up to five years in prison for those who cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC), which issued an arrest warrant for the Kremlin head in mid-March, and with other international organizations that include Moscow gone.

Law

The resolution was adopted “because of the illegal actions of international organizations, in particular the KPI,” said then the chairman of the lower house, Vyacheslav Volodin.

The law will prosecute those who cooperate with international organizations and foreign government bodies whose decisions are contrary to domestic law, as a controversial 2020 constitutional reform put Russian laws ahead of international ones.

According to the new article of the Criminal Code (284), persons cooperating in the implementation of decisions of international organizations to which they Russia nor does it belong to foreign state bodies in the criminal prosecution of Russian officials or members of volunteer formations performing combat missions.

In addition to five years in prison, these individuals can be fined from 300,000 rubles (about $3,600) to one million rubles (more than $12,000).

As soon as the arrest warrant was issued PutinVolodin advocated a ban on the activities of the KPI in this country.

In addition, he assured that “any attack” on the head of the Kremlin would be considered “aggression” against the country, hinting that an arrest warrant issued for the illegal deportation of children from Ukraine was considered a war crime.

following announcements

The Kremlin assured that Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court, therefore its decisions have “zero legal force”, and the deputy head of the Security Council RussiaPresident Dmitry Medvedev warned that Putin’s arrest would be tantamount to a “declaration of war” and threatened to fire rockets at the court’s headquarters in The Hague.

Shortly thereafter, the Investigative Committee of the city of Russia initiated criminal proceedings against prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan and three CPI judges, Tomoko Akane, Rosario Salvatore Aital and Costa Rican Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez.

The ICC holds Putin, as well as Children’s Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova, “allegedly responsible” for the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children, which has been repeatedly condemned by the Kyiv authorities. (As reported by EFE)
