State Prosecutor requests transfer of Ivanov's former vice minister assets to the national treasury
In a significant turn of events, Russia's First Deputy Prosecutor General Anatoly Razinkin has filed an anti-corruption lawsuit with the Presnensky District Court of Moscow. The lawsuit targets the assets of former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov, who was found guilty of embezzlement.
According to the lawsuit, Ivanov embezzled more than 3.9 billion rubles, a substantial sum in the Russian economy. The total amount of the claim, however, remains undisclosed, with sources suggesting it could be in the billions of rubles.
The assets seized include cash, real estate, and luxury items. A significant portion of Ivanov's assets were not registered in his name, indicating a complex web of financial transactions. The assets were also entrusted to proxies, further complicating the case.
Ivanov's assets were distributed among his relatives, including his former spouse and current partner. The name of the person who managed the assets of Ivanov's wife and partner is Alexey Lyakh.
The Kommersant newspaper reported that Ivanov concealed his corrupt earnings, which were disproportionate to his official income. As a result, Ivanov was fined 100 million rubles.
In a harsh judgement, the Moscow City Court sentenced Ivanov to 13 years in a strict-regime colony. This information was reported earlier by the National News Service.
The lawsuit was filed on the orders of Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, marking a strong stance against corruption in Russia's highest echelons of power. The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against corruption in the country.
