The decision to transfer these assets to state revenue was made in December 2023 by the Volga City Court. The Russian Prosecutor General's Office filed a lawsuit demanding the seizure of assets from owners who, according to the court, were associated with extremist activities. During the trial, it was established that the shares belonged to Ukrainian entrepreneurs Konstantin Efimenko and Elizaveta Andreeva, who were recognized as members of the extremist association.
