Overview
- The Odintsovo City Court in the Moscow Region granted in full a claim brought by Russia’s first deputy prosecutor general.
- The ruling orders Saveliev to pay 609,561,411 rubles to the state as income deemed to have come from unlawful sources.
- The court acted the same day the lawsuit was filed, registering the claim in the morning and issuing the decision in the evening.
- The case rests on a prosecutor’s inspection alleging breaches of anti‑corruption restrictions, failure to declare income, and covert management of assets for unfair business advantage.
- Saveliev has been under arrest since August 2, 2024, in a separate case over organizing the preparation of a murder after a move to strip his parliamentary immunity.
