More than 20 boatmasters fined in the Trans-Baikal Territory

GIMS inspectors fined 25 boatmasters in the Trans-Baikal Territory for a month. The violators did not use life jackets.

A total of 26 violations have been detected since the beginning of the navigation season. In addition to the lack of vests, one boatmaster was prosecuted for non-payment of last year's fine. The ChitaMedia news agency writes about this.

The fine for not wearing a vest is up to 500 rubles for individuals and up to 1,000 rubles for officials.

Last weekend, investigators opened a criminal case in the Khabarovsk Territory into the death of a child when a boat capsized. He wasn't wearing a life jacket.
