The day before, Moscow courts have fined 9 people for 15 thousand rubles each for violating the self-isolation regime. In all these cases the citizens were further than 100 meters from the address of their actual residence. In Moscow, since April 2, there is a special section on violation of the requirements of the high-alert regime, which imposes a fine of 4 thousand rubles. The section of the Capital Code contains a special clause. Citizens can be punished under the Moscow law only if they cannot be held liable for the same action under the Federal Administrative Code. According to Elena Izotova, the senior lawyer of Kosenkov & Suvorov Law Firm, Section 6.3 of the Administrative Code in the current version can only be applied to those who violate the mandatory 14-day quarantine or are infected. This sanction should not be applied to other citizens who have violated the self-isolation regime recommended by the regional legislation.
