MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a lifetime immunity bill for former presidents.
According to foreign media, President Putin signed a bill of immunity to protect former Russian presidents from life imprisonment, which would allow former presidents to become members of the upper house for life once they leave the presidency.
