President Vladimir Putin has signed a law imposing sweeping financial, property and consular restrictions on Russians living abroad who have been convicted in absentia, including under legislation used to prosecute Kremlin critics. The measure was one of several laws signed by Putin on Tuesday that expand state oversight of Russian citizens and the economy. Information from the register will be shared with agencies including the Interior Ministry, Federal Security Service (FSB), Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN), Federal Bailiffs Service, Federal Tax Service, property registry and Central Bank. Those listed will be barred from using remote banking services or accessing state and municipal services online. Legal experts from the rights group Perviy Otdel previously said the scope of the restrictions resembled “the effective deprivation of citizenship.”
