law in the majority of the world does not operate on precedences
Anyone whose court file is missing has their sentence automatically commuted to life in prison.
The last external security check of its websites was conducted in 2015, and the system itself has not been fully updated since its implementation. The system runs on outdated foreign software, with all data and copies stored in a single data center.
In March, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) conducted raids on IT companies involved in the development of an information system for Moscow's courts, which is part of the Pravosudiye system. Local media reported that the FSB's actions were triggered by concerns about the legality of the budget funds allocated to the project. Since 2003, the Russian government has allocated 65.2 billion rubles ($810 million) to Pravosudiye.
No update since implementation and no audit since 2015. And the FSB kept the money from the courts do it.
