«Anti-corruption expertise guarantees the legal purity of acts and the protection of citizens' rights» - Rustem Zagidullin
Today, the State Council of Tatarstan held a press conference to discuss the anti-corruption assessment of the republic's draft laws. The Minister of justice of the republic Rustem Zagidullin briefed journalists on the legislative work of the republic's authorities and the results of their work to identify corruption-causing factors in regulatory legal acts and their drafts.
Over the first 11 months of 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of Tatarstan submitted 31 bills to the State Council of the Republic, eight of which were developed in accordance with the government's legislative action plan. The minister emphasized that all bills undergo mandatory review by the Interdepartmental coordinating committee on legal issues and its Expert council before being submitted to the State Council.
«During this period, the committee held eight meetings, approving 28 bills. The Expert council also reviewed and approved 28 draft laws at 11 meetings», - noted Rustem Zagidullin.
The Minister of justice reported that in the first three quarters of 2025, the Ministry of justice of the republic conducted anti-corruption reviews of 1 815 draft regulatory legal acts and 936 departmental documents. Among the projects reviewed were 80 draft laws of the Republic of Tatarstan, 89 draft decrees of the Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan, and 1 646 draft resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers.
According to Rustem Ildusovich, a significant achievement was the absence of identified corruption-causing factors in draft republican laws in the first nine months of 2025. However, 44 corruption-causing factors were found in other types of regulatory acts, all of them related to draft resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers.
«The most frequently encountered corruption-causing factors were: the breadth of discretionary powers (20 cases), the absence or incompleteness of administrative procedures (18 cases) and the definition of competence using the formula «has the right» (5 cases)», - explained Rustem Zagidullin.
Most of the violations, the minister noted, were identified in draft procedures for providing subsidies and grants.
In his speech, the minister also emphasized the effectiveness of the internship platform system introduced in the republic in 2018. In 2025, 11 employees of republican executive bodies and 21 employees of local government bodies completed training in anti-corruption due diligence at the Ministry of justice of Tatarstan.
«Anti-corruption due diligence activities are aimed at preventing situations in which officials could abuse their official position for selfish purposes. This ensures the legal purity of regulatory legal acts and guarantees the realization of citizens' rights», - concluded the minister of justice of Tatarstan.
