PoliticsRussia moves to give security services near-real-time access to citizens’ travel data

Airlines and railways would have 15 minutes after arrival to submit it, while other operators would have 30 minutes. Experts say the system would mainly support near-real-time tracking of people linked to criminal cases, including suspects, convicts, and witnesses.
