MOSCOW, February 24 (RAPSI) – The Russian Ministry of Interior has proposed to store personal dactyloscopic data until the respective individual dies or reaches the age of 100, according to a bill presented for the public discussion.

The document envisages to set the aforesaid storage terms for the dactyloscopic information received from the persons subject to state registration, a statement of the Interior Ministry press service reads.

Citing the statistics of the last five years, which demonstrate a significant rise in the number of citizens reaching the age of 80, the Ministry points out that senior citizens are more vulnerable to diseases resulting in memory loss, what facilitates longer data storage terms.
