According to the lawyer of the Arashukovs, Vladimir Postaniuk, prosecutors estimated this property at 1.3 billion rubles.

“We attribute this court decision to unreasonable and illegal: the arguments of lawyers about the absence of violations of the law, about the acquisition of property long before the adoption of anti-corruption legislation, as well as many other arguments were not heard by the court. We will appeal, ”Postaniuk said.

The lawsuit of the prosecutor’s office against the Arashukovs and several co-defendants, who are their relatives, has been considered by the court since the fall of 2020.
