State Duma deputy Andrei Kolesnik may be deprived of his mandate
[ad_1]
The claims of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation against State Duma deputy from the Kaliningrad region Andrey Kolesnik (United Russia), convicted of conducting commercial activities in the management of the Kaliningrad Commercial Sea Port (KMTP), may become the basis for depriving him of his mandate, lawyers interviewed by Vedomosti believe. The combination of entrepreneurial activity and work in the Federal Assembly is not provided for by law and is prohibited, since a civil servant does not have the right to engage in commercial activities, Dmitry Gorbunov, partner at the law firm Rustam Kurmaev and Partners, draws attention.
Kolesnik himself told Vedomosti that he was not afraid of losing his mandate. A representative of the apparatus of the State Duma commission on issues of control over the reliability of information on income, property and property obligations told Vedomosti that the commission has not yet received an appeal from the Prosecutor General’s Office to deprive Kolesnik of his deputy’s powers. Vedomosti sent a request to the supervisory authority.
