President Volodymyr Zelenskyi signed a law amending some legislative acts to establish liability for declaring inaccurate information and failing to file a declaration.
The Office of the President reports.
The law returns the liability for declaring unreliable information and for failing to declare to submit a declaration by a subject, revoked by a decision of the Constitutional Court.
Relevant amendments are being made to the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Law on Prevention of Corruption.
As noted, the signed document eliminates gaps in the legislation that arose in connection with the October 27, 2020 decision of the CCU, and provides opportunities for criminal prosecution for declaring inaccurate information and failing to declare by the person, authorized to perform functions of the state or local government.
