Overview

• The Ostankinsky District Court imposed asset freezes on Viktor Momotov, his mother, and affiliated associates, including business partners Andrei and Ivan Marchenko.
• Property under freeze includes the Vologda hotel and roughly 95 real estate assets that prosecutors contend are tied to Momotov through third parties.
• Court materials show 26 enforcement proceedings were opened in preparation for the case, with eight targeting pledged property for foreclosure.
• The General Prosecutor’s Office filed a civil suit to transfer the contested assets to the state for alleged violations of anti-corruption law.
• Momotov, who left the Supreme Court on September 26 and retains the status of a judge in retirement, appeared at court for a preliminary meeting and declined to speak to the press.
