The Russian government has submitted a bill to the State Duma that would allow Russians to register vehicles under international wanted status, according to RIA Novosti.
Consensus
- The Russian government has introduced a bill to allow registration of vehicles under international search.
- The law would permit registration if the vehicle was placed under search by an 'unfriendly' state.
- The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) would be granted authority to establish special procedures for registering such vehicles.
Points of divergence
- The bill was developed to protect the legal interests of individuals who possess vehicles under international search initiated by unfriendly states. — novaya_eu
- The scheme for legitimizing stolen European cars involves importing them through occupied territories in Ukraine, using simplified registration procedures and then transferring ownership via a front person to create a clean history in Russian databases. — novaya_eu
- The need for the change arose because Western countries stopped responding to requests from Russian officials after the start of the war, making it impossible for police to verify if vehicles were actually stolen. — novaya_eu
- The bill allows registration of vehicles under international search even if the search was initiated by an unfriendly state. — tg_mosguru
