⚖️ The State Duma of the Russian Federation **adopted** in the first reading a draft law on punishment for illegal mining — this refers to cases where, as a result of such activity, large-scale income (over 3.5 million rubles) has been obtained, or damage of a similar amount has been caused to citizens, organizations, or the state.

Such crimes will be punishable by a fine of up to 1.5 million rubles, mandatory work for 480 hours, or forced labor for up to 2 years.
