MOSCOW, November 29 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the federal law on amendments in Article 5 and Article 7 in the federal law on combating the legalization (money laundering) of incomes received in criminal ways and terrorism financing. The State Duma approved the law on November 9, 2007, and the Federation Council approved the law on November 16, 2007, the presidential press service reported on Thursday.

The federal law aims at bringing the federal legislation in compliance with Russia’s international commitments in the corruption fight.

The federal law enlarges the list of organisations that make transactions and are obliged to combat the money laundering and the terrorism financing. The law includes commercial organisations that conclude factoring agreements as fiscal agents.

Meanwhile, the federal law envisages additional measures aimed at tougher control for foreign public servants, clearing settlements and money transfers without opening an account.
