“All our deputies are as clean as falcons - now they have neither accounts nor assets abroad, at least this follows from the tax returns they filed. I will not shout: “I don’t believe it!”, although the worm of doubt is crawling. Perhaps indeed, they closed everything and everything, and did not transfer it to dummy legal entities through all sorts of offshore schemes. Now this is not about that, but again about the fact that this law prohibiting officials from having accounts and assets abroad is inherently wrong.
I already wrote about this, as soon as this bill was introduced, that it doesn’t matter at all where the official keeps the money, what matters is how he received it.”
