The Prosecutor General’s Office filed a claim in early May. According to the institution, the funds frozen on the accounts of entrepreneurs from the sale of the Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port had a criminal origin. The court satisfied the demand of the prosecution Ziyavudina Magomedova and his brother Magomed Magomedov. This was reported to the media in the press center of the court.
With regard to ownership of this value, “according to the law of Russia on combating corruption, confirmation of its acquisition for legitimate income was not presented,” the court explained.
Late on Friday evening, after leaving the Khamovniki Court of Moscow, Magomedov Sr.’s lawyer Mikhail Osherov said that the application filed by the Prosecutor General’s Office was fully satisfied, while the defense’s requests, on the contrary, were completely rejected.
“It is symbolic that the application was submitted on April 27, and on May 27 it was satisfied,” Mr. Osherov emphasized and also said that the decision would be appealed without fail.
The court, he reports, took only two meetings (the previous record was set when recovering from a former minister Mikhail Abyzov over 30 billion rubles—it took three meetings). At the same time, as the intercessor emphasized, all the demands of the defendants were rejected. And they, among other things, expected to get time to collect proven facts, discuss positions with the Magomedov brothers, and more.
