Any falsification of documents should be punished by law; falsification of vaccination certificates has become a matter of particular concern for law enforcement agencies in the Russian Federation. This was announced on Tuesday, November 2, by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the fact that the European Union expects Russia to suppress such phenomena.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, the fake certificates will not complicate the possible mutual recognition of these documents.
“In the foreseeable future, we hope to achieve mutual recognition of vaccination certificates. This is important for citizens, we must ensure freedom of over-exposure even in a pandemic, ”he said.
As Peskov continued, vaccination certificates are forged both in Russia and in the EU countries. Everywhere there is a struggle against this.
Earlier on Tuesday, the EU became interested in the investigation into the falsification of covid certificates in the Russian Federation. The EU Delegation said that they expect certain measures from the authorities to suppress this phenomenon.
The distribution of fake documents in the EU – Russian QR codes or digital COVID certificates of the European Union – is illegal and punishable. Kaspersky Lab reported about fraudulent sales of European electronic certificates of vaccination against coronavirus on the darknet.
Specialists of an international cybersecurity company told on November 1 about the opportunity to buy a fake electronic document for $ 300, choosing the country of vaccination and one of the drugs approved in the European Union: AstraZeneca, Pfizer / BioNTech, Johnson & Johnson or Moderna.
On October 29, it became known that the G20 countries share the opinion on the importance of mutual recognition of vaccination certificates. This would significantly speed up economic recovery and improve the quality of life of citizens.
A large-scale vaccination has been taking place in Russia since January. Citizens are vaccinated free of charge and voluntarily. Five vaccines against coronavirus have been registered in the country: Sputnik V, which became the first vaccine against COVID-19 in the Russian Federation and the world, as well as Sputnik Light, EpiVacCorona, EpiVacCorona-N and KoviVak.
