Government and MPs seek to lift exit ban on Russians with overdue debts

‘The Russian Justice Ministry and lower house MPs have prepared separate bills that, if passed, would significantly ease the rules on exiting the country for people with outstanding debts.
According to existing laws and regulations, Russians who refuse to repay their debts – including fines to the state – in the amount of over 10,000 rubles (about $150) can be banned from leaving the country.
The ban on leaving is imposed by the Federal Border Guard Service at the request of court bailiffs, and can be lifted only after the debt is repaid.’
