Overview

• - The Ostanikinsky District Court granted the Prosecutor General’s civil suit to convert into state revenue assets linked to Viktor Momotov and businessman Andrey Marchenko, valuing the portfolio at about 9 billion rubles and encompassing the Marton hotel network.
• - Judges approved immediate enforcement, with prosecutors arguing delay could let the defendants continue profiting from controlled assets; the case lists roughly 95 real estate properties, including dozens of hotels and land plots.
• - Momotov arrived from the hospital to address the court, denied any role in business activities or ties to Marton, cited official earnings of roughly 75–85 million rubles, and left before the verdict was read.
• - Defense teams for Momotov and for Andrey and Ivan Marchenko said they will appeal and sought to exclude secret‑witness statements, while prosecutors submitted materials alleging links to organized crime and to prostitution schemes involving minors.
• - In a separate high‑profile case, the Moscow City Court reduced influencer Elena Blinovskaya’s term to four years and six months and refused her request to delay serving the sentence until 2034.
