The meeting was held in the absence of the representatives of the defendants, and the lawyers of the FSSP and the Trust Bank, in whose accounts the funds were located, did not oppose the satisfaction of the claim.
In mid-May, the filing of a lawsuit by the Prosecutor General’s Office against Khodorkovsky and Lebedev became known.
It later emerged that this involved the demand to convert almost one billion rubles and more than $1.8 million, which had previously been confiscated as property obtained through crime, into state revenue. It was also established that these funds belong to Khodorkovsky and Lebedev.
We are talking about the bank accounts of several companies, in particular Evoil, Ratibor, East Siberian Service Company, Siberian Leasing Company, Menatep Limited and others.
As noted in the Attorney General’s lawsuit, it was filed because the damages previously established by the court in the amount of $17.4 billion for tax crimes were not compensated.
