History

2024: Seizure of assets worth 100 trillion rubles at the suit of the Prosecutor General's Office

Bailiffs arrested assets worth 100 trillion rubles at the suit of the Prosecutor General's Office against the Macfa pasta manufacturer. This became known on April 1, 2024.

As the defendant's lawyer Igor Trunov told Interfax, "all assets have been seized from everyone," but it is not clear where the indicated amount came from. The lawyer added that in the lawsuit, the Prosecutor General's Office did not calculate the income of the defendants - ex-governor of the Chelyabinsk region Mikhail Yurevich and ex-senator Vadim Belousov, and also did not give an accurate assessment of the alleged property belonging to them.

Igor Trunov drew attention to the fact that 100 trillion rubles is almost three times more than the planned revenues of the federal budget of Russia in 2024. In addition, as RBC notes, the indicated amount exceeds the ruble money supply in circulation: according to the Central Bank, as of March 1, 2024, it amounted to 99.4 trillion rubles.

TASS, citing the bailiff's decree, reports that the accounts of Belousov's son-in-law, Yurevich's mother, other relatives and companies have been arrested. In particular, Belousov's son-in-law Maxim Chigintsev arrested accounts opened with Zyfra Bank - six rubles, as well as in euros and dollars, the resolution says. It notes that the documents were sent to the bank for "immediate execution." The shares of the following companies were arrested:

• First Bakery, Makfa, SMAK, New Five-Year Plan, Dolgovskoye - shares owned by Natalya Petrasheva and Natalya Yurevich, a private Cypriot company Sula Granti LTD;
• Chelyabinsk Regional Gas - shares owned by a relative of Yurevich and Belousov's son-in-law;
• Arcom and Kalanchak Bakery Plant are shares owned by the Dutch company MGC International B.V.

According to Kommersant, the Prosecutor General's Office believes that Makfa and a number of other enterprises, including Smak and Chelyabinsk Regional Gas, are of corruption origin, since their beneficiaries - Yurevich and Belousov - were engaged in business, working in state authorities, and "for many years violated the prohibitions and restrictions established by anti-corruption legislation."^[2]
