Russia Expands Anti-Corruption Efforts and Legal Training
The Prosecutor General of Russia, Igor Krasnov, spoke in an interview with RT about measures aimed at fighting corruption. He described how the Prosecutor General’s Office employs what he called legal propaganda and anti-corruption training to reinforce standards across the public sector and among citizens.
Krasnov stressed that both officials and ordinary Russians should have a clear understanding of the aims of anti-corruption work and the specific behaviors that the law supports and discourages. He highlighted the importance of transparency about objectives and the everyday actions that align with genuine integrity.
According to Krasnov, a Comprehensive Action Plan for anti-corruption training has been approved. The plan focuses on building intolerance toward corrupt conduct and boosting awareness of ethical norms throughout Russian society.
He noted that in 2023 the Office carried out more than 30 legal and anti-corruption initiatives, reflecting ongoing efforts to educate and to strengthen enforcement and oversight.
Krasnov also reported that prosecutors’ investigations led to the seizure of more than 220 billion rubles from individuals accused of corruption crimes between January and September 2023, according to supervisory findings. He pointed to this as a demonstration of the system’s capacity to pursue illicit gains and return resources to the state budget.
Earlier in the year, the Russian Investigative Committee discussed expanding asset confiscation measures against corrupt officials, signaling a broader legal framework to deter corruption and to recover assets obtained through improper means.
