Overview
- The Central District Court of Sochi granted a suit filed by the Deputy Prosecutor General to confiscate assets obtained in violation of anti-corruption law and transfer them to the state.
- The order covers roughly 60 real estate properties along with multiple companies and other assets linked to Napso.
- The ruling identifies 12 nominal holders, with some assets registered to the former deputy’s mother, brother, and wife.
- Court documents say Napso created National Fuel Company and Sochipetrol in 2014–2015 and registered them to proxies to obscure the ultimate owner.
- A witness stated Napso directed the firms’ operations, asked to be called the “owner,” and avoided signing documents while others fronted formal roles.
