In Russia, fines have been increased for pushing additional goods and services.

      New fines for imposing additional goods, works or services for a separate fee on consumers have come into force in Russia. According to amendments to Article 14.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the fine for officials may reach 150,000 rubles, and for legal entities — 500,000 rubles, TASS writes. State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin noted that cases of imposing paid services have increased significantly: from 782 cases in 2022 to 4,132 in 2024. Citizens most often encounter this problem when buying tickets and arranging banking and medical services. The ban on imposing additional goods and services was introduced in April 2025, and strengthening liability will help protect consumers' rights from unnecessary expenses. Photo: freepik.com
