Odintsovo Court Orders Ex-Senator Dmitry Savelyev to Pay 609.56 Million Rubles to the State

Prosecutors sought to convert alleged unlawful earnings into state revenue under Russia's anti-corruption law.

Overview

  • The Odintsovo City Court in the Moscow Region fully granted the First Deputy Prosecutor General’s civil claim, ordering recovery of 609,561,411 rubles as income from unlawful sources.
  • The lawsuit alleged that Dmitry Savelyev, a former Federation Council member from Tula Oblast, violated anti-corruption restrictions while serving as a senator.
  • Prosecutors stated he concealed income, submitted inaccurate asset declarations, and continued to control assets in the shadow economy to secure unfair business advantages.
  • The ruling directs the funds to the state as a civil asset-recovery measure separate from ongoing criminal proceedings.
  • Savelyev was arrested on August 2, 2024, in a separate case over organizing the preparation of a murder following a request to lift his parliamentary immunity.
