The Russian anti-money laundering agency, the Federal Financial Monitoring Service, plans to promote criminal responsibility for illegal cryptocurrency mining, accusing it of promoting money laundering activities. Deputy director of the agency, German Neglyad, revealed that it has worked with the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank to formulate relevant bills, and has received support from policy-making bodies such as the Russian Civic Council.
Nikolai Zhuravlev, deputy chairperson of the Federation Council, stressed that legislation needs to be "forward-looking to eliminate loopholes in the financial system". Osman Kabaloev, deputy head of the Financial Policy Department of the Ministry of Finance, confirmed that amendments are being drafted and will introduce administrative penalties in addition to criminal liability. The move is aimed at curbing illegal mining and transfer of funds using cheap electricity.
