All migrant workers entering the territory of Russia from neighboring countries must be subject to genomic registration. So said the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin. & Nbsp;
“ Currently there is an increase in illegal acts of migrant workers, with their participation there are gross violations of public order, mass fighting. This generates social tensions and leads to a worsening of the crime situation in Russia. So, if for six months of 2020 law enforcement investigated more than 17,000 crimes committed by foreigners, then for the first half of 2021 & ndash; nearly 19,000, “Bastrykin said in an interview with Interfax.
& nbsp; Bastyrkin clarified that there are growing trends in illegal acts among migrants who present increased social danger, especially extremism – 'ndash; by 33%, terrorism & ndash; by 26%, kills & ndash; by 8%, rape & ndash; by 5%. The introduction of genomic recording, according to the head of RF IC, will help tighten control over migrants and improve the crime situation in the country.
& nbsp; What is genomic recording?
& nbsp; h2>
The genomic record is & nbsp; registration, storage and use of biological material & nbsp; citizens of & nbsp; RF, as well as & nbsp; foreigners and stateless persons living in the country. & nbsp;
Biological material is understood as tissue containing genomic information and human secretions – fragments of its DNA. & nbsp;
According to the law “ On State Genomic Registration in the Russian Federation '', & nbsp; Genomic recording can be voluntary (for example, if there is a need to establish a biological relationship) or mandatory.
For what purposes is genomic information on human DNA used? & nbsp;
According to Russian law, genomic information is used for the following purposes:
- & nbsp; warning, disclosure and investigation of crimes, and & nbsp; also identification and identification of the persons who committed them;
- search for missing citizens of the Russian Federation, and & nbsp; also foreign citizens and stateless persons residing or staying temporarily in the territory of the Russian Federation;
- establish the identity of an unidentified corpse;
- establish family relationships.
& nbsp; Who has to undergo genomic registration in Russia? & nbsp;
Mandatory state genomic registration under law is enacted by: & nbsp; & nbsp;
- convicted and serving time of imprisonment for committing serious or particularly serious crimes, as well as all categories of crimes against the sexual inviolability and sexual freedom of the individual;
- Unidentified citizens whose biological material was seized during investigative actions.
- Unidentified corpses are also subject to mandatory state genomic registration.
& nbsp; What biological materials are used to determine human DNA?
& nbsp; Standard DNA analysis involves the study of the genetic properties of material obtained as a result of scratching the oral mucosa. If a standard fence is not possible, forensic experts can use the following materials:
- & nbsp; cells or tissues of the human body;
- hair with bulb;
- nails;
- blood (liquid or dried);
- semen, seminal fluid, etc.
& nbsp; Where is the DNA of criminals stored? & nbsp;
DNA research results entered into the Federal Automated Genomic Information Database (FBDGI). Each person receives a DNA card encoded with personal data.
According to the Home Office, the National Genomic Information Accounting System has been developed in accordance with the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) adopted in many countries around the world. Therefore, she & nbsp; guarantees the identification of persons' registered both in Russia and abroad, ensuring productive work on the verification of genomic information through Interpol. & # 39; & # 39;
Who can use the genomic information in the federal database? & nbsp;
The following people have the right to use genomic information: & nbsp;
- the courts;
- preliminary investigation bodies;
- investigative bodies and organizations carrying out operational research activity;
- the use of genomic information for the benefit of foreign states is carried out in accordance with international treaties of the Russian Federation.
& nbsp; How long is human DNA information stored in the database? & nbsp;
& nbsp; By law, the genomic information obtained during the genomic state registration is stored: & nbsp;
- for those convicted of serious or particularly serious crimes – until the fact of their death is established, and in the absence of information about their death – and ndash; before the date on which they would have been 100 years old;
- & nbsp; of unidentified people involved in the & ndash; 70 years from the date of receipt;
- & nbsp; DNA data of unidentified corpses is retained until the person is identified, but no more than 70 years;
- the genomic information of people who have undergone a voluntary examination can be destroyed on their written request.
& nbsp; How many DNA maps are there in the Federal Genomic Information Database?
& nbsp; The Federal Genomic Information Database (FBDGI) has been incorporated since 2009. According to the first deputy director of the forensic center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, police colonel Emil Musin , it increases by hundreds of biological genotypes every year.
& nbsp; thousands of facts involving people in the commission of crimes, ”noted Musin in an interview with AiF.ru.
& nbsp; Musin also noted that forensic DNA analysis laboratories operate in 73 forensic centers of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
