Overview

• Octyabrsky District Court in Tambov granted the Prosecutor General’s suit, recognizing Alexander Zaytsev, Margarita Zaytseva, Alexander Vasilyev and Sergei Shmarov as members of an extremist association and banning it in Russia.
• The ruling directs confiscation of 100% of Lanta’s charter capital to the state and seizure of the executives’ real estate, with immediate enforcement.
• Vasilyev says the court took his equity stake, a house near Tambov, five garages—three housing network nodes—and one-third of his parents’ apartment.
• Prosecutors allege Zaytsev financed Ukrainian armed formations via Bulgaria’s For Free Russia association chaired by ex-MP Gennady Gudkov, while the accused reject the claims.
• Vasilyev denies extremism, reports he left Russia with law-enforcement approval on September 26, and says he will appeal; Lanta serves over 50,000 customers including defense-industry enterprises.
