Supreme Court Restricts Freedom of Movement

Russia’s Supreme Court affirmed rulings by lower courts upholding the prohibition against issuing international passports to persons under criminal investigation. In the case under consideration, a person being investigated for fraud and other charges visited Azerbaijan several times with the investigator’s consent. When his passport expired, he applied for a new one, but the application was rejected on the grounds he was under investigation.
