23/08/11 – Russian Lottery amendments are set for a second reading in the Russian Parliament next month. The draft bill is intended to tackle a number of serious flaws and loopholes that have been detected in the existing legislation and to clamp down on “bogus” lotteries used for money laundering.  The amendments follow newly-introduced criminal sanctions for illegal gambling. If passed, the bill will give officials the power to hand down administrative fines for breaking the law or violating consumer rights.
