The State Duma has tightened the penalties for failing to report crimes related to sabotage. The bill's authors believe that such a law will allow additional security, including for fuel and energy complex facilities and transport infrastructure.

Amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation equate failure to report sabotage with failure to report a terrorist attack. Failure to report sabotage is punishable by imprisonment for up to one year.

“In the context of the SMO, it is very important for law enforcement agencies to promptly receive information on planned explosions, arson, or other actions that undermine our country's economic security and defense capability. However, several citizens keep silent about the facts of their incitement to criminal activity, which negatively affects the prevention of crimes planned by the enemy,” commented Vasily Piskarev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption.
