Further proposed amendments to Law No. 470-FZ and the Code of Administrative Offences

As we advised in our previous client alert, draft amendments to Law 470-FZ were submitted to the State Duma for consideration on 20 October, with a view to facilitating the implementation of Law 470-FZ, including by exempting the “holdco removal” scheme from a number of regulatory and corporate law requirements that would have applied otherwise.

On 2 November 2023, further draft amendments to Law 470-FZ were submitted to the State Duma.

Furthermore, consequent amendments to the Russian Code of Administrative Offences were submitted, also on 2 November, to the State Duma – with a view to equipping Law 470-FZ with administrative sanctions.

    In one of our previous alerts, we advised that a draft law amending the Russian Code of Administrative Offences had been submitted to the State Duma to establish, among other things, sanctions for failure to comply with the requirements of Law No. 470-FZ On Peculiarities of Regulation of Corporate Relations in Business Entities that are Economically Significant Organisations. On 22 June 2024, that law was signed by the President of Russia, published and entered into force.
