In November 2013 the Russian Federation legalized Sippenhaft-like punishments against the family of an individual convicted or suspected of committing terrorist acts. These laws were passed under Vladimir Putin in advance of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, located in the embattled Caucasus region. Under these laws property can be seized even under the mere suspicion that a relative was involved in terrorism. When threats were made by Chechnyan militants against the games, terrorist "affiliated" persons were arrested. The number of terrorist attacks has declined since then.[14]
