Actor Smolyaninov's assets have been seized by authorities
Article Title: Russian Court Imposes Pre-Trial Arrest on Actor Arthur Smolianinov
In a series of developments, Russian actor Arthur Smolianinov finds himself in legal trouble. On October 9, 2024, the Basmanny Court of Moscow imposed a pre-trial arrest on Smolianinov for spreading fake news about the Russian Armed Forces.
This arrest comes after Smolianinov's two-month pre-trial detention, which began either from his extradition to Russia or his detention on Russian territory. The exact timeline has not been specified.
Smolianinov's financial troubles are not new. In May 2023, he was included in the list of terrorists and extremists. Prior to this, he had been fined for late payment of another fine.
More recently, his Mazda CX-5 was confiscated three days ago due to unpaid fines and mortgage arrears. The authorities have also sent requests to registering authorities and credit organizations to determine Smolianinov's property status.
However, a search for information regarding the seizure of Smolianinov's assets in Russia has yielded no results. The search results mainly mention his acting career, music video releases, and connections with foster care, but do not address any legal or financial sanctions against him.
It is worth noting that RIA Novosti has reported the seizure of Smolianinov's property, though the exact nature or amount of the debts that led to this seizure is not specified in the report.
Additionally, Smolianinov was added to the registry of foreign agents by the Ministry of Justice on January 13, 2023. His Russian bank accounts were blocked in February.
Smolianinov left Russia in 2022, and it remains unclear how these recent developments will impact his return to the country.
As the situation unfolds, it is advisable to consult official Russian legal or financial sources or news outlets specializing in Russian political and legal affairs for more recent and detailed information.
