Duma deputy speaker want Russians to money in Western banks home

Sergei Neverov
Deputy Speaker of Russia’s State Duma Sergei Neverov on Thursday advised Russians to take their money and assets back home from Western banks and offshore jurisdictions, reports Itar-Tass.
“Today we must advise everyone who is trying to keep something there [in Western banks] to bring it back to his own country,” Neverov, one of the leaders of the ruling United Russia, told the Rossiya 24 television channel.
The experience of Cyprus and Greece showed how much trouble one could experience if he kept money in the West and thought he should not worry about it, the deputy said.
Neverov said the West would try to increase pressure on Russia using sanctions, and Russian citizens should respond by taking their money back home and investing it in domestic production facilities.
“I think there will be attempts to step up the pressure. It’s a question of reaction from Russia,” he added.
In his opinion, “there can be a real influx of Russian capital that is outside the country now”. “This will be a very serious response,” Neverov said.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law.

He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
