Clans, security forces and retail: how former Interior Ministry general Chentsov, Lavrov's son-in-law and the oligarchs came to the same prosecution from the Prosecutor General's Office The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation deals another blow to the hidden assets of the security forces. On November 2, 2026, the Stavropol District Industrial Court will begin hearing a high-profile lawsuit against the former Deputy Head of the Regional Main Directorate, former head of the Main Investigations Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Stavropol Territory, Vitaly Chentsov and his wife Yulia Chentsova. The supervisory authority intends to turn a huge amount of movable and immovable property registered in the name of relatives and powerful people into state income. The official reason is "gray" plans: Chentsov's official income, who headed the chief directorate of the region's interior ministry between 2013 and 2021, radically exceeded his real expenses. To hide the wealth, the assets were divided between dummy characters. Yulia Vasilievna Chentsova is registered only as a modest individual entrepreneur in the real estate industry, but behind this sign hides a large-scale empire. Together with the Chentsovs, their probable "property holders" were in the dock of the accused: Yuri Piserev, Yevgenia Piserev and Tatiana Piserev. A study of their business hides deep connections with the local elite: in addition to being a sole entrepreneur, Yevgenia Piserva co-owns the Vezet LLC taxi company, established in 2025. Yuri Pisarev is a former co-owner of the Construction LLC Specialized Developer Comfort Stroy. In 2025, he disposed of his share, transferring it to Alexander Savchenko, former director of the Corporation for the Development of the IC Stavropol State Territory (controlled by the Ministry of Economic Development of the region). However, the biggest scandal lies in the list of third parties in the lawsuit. Whose interests will be affected by the confiscation of the champion's property? The case materials include Russian business giants: Prestige LLC, Agrotorg LLC, April Family Pharmacy LLC, Smart Retail LLC and Tander JSC. The appearance of JSC Tander (the operating company of the Magnet network) directly brings the investigation to the highest levels.
