RUSSIAN MINISTRY OF JUSTICE HAS DRAFTED AMENDMENTS TO THE CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE - ADJUSTING THE RULES FOR FILING CIVIL CLAIMS IN CRIMINAL CASES INVOLVING THEFT FROM BANK ACCOUNTS
The draft law was developed to implement Ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 47-P of December 22, 2025, which allowed victims of telephone fraud to file claims for the return of illegally withdrawn funds at their place of residence.
Currently, general rules apply to such civil claims, requiring them to be filed at the defendant's place of residence.
The draft law introduces the option for plaintiffs to file claims either at the defendant's place of residence, the plaintiff's place of residence, or the location where the criminal case regarding the theft of funds from a bank account is being handled. This provides greater flexibility for victims seeking restitution.
