The former owner of the Sulikamsk Magnesium Plant (SMZ) Igor Pastrykov has requested political asylum in France. This became known from the materials of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, writes Yade. The court considered Pastrykov's claim against the former chairman of the board of directors of SMZ, Alexander Gutin. The plaintiff demanded compensation for the shares of SMZ and the Lubozero mining and processing plant that were confiscated from him. According to the case materials, Pastrykov called himself a political refugee in court. He applied for asylum in France, but at the time of the court's decision, his application had not yet been discussed. The magnesium plant in Solikamsk was nationalized at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. Pastrykov himself was sentenced in his absence to eight years in prison on charges of embezzlement. Open a website Mirror | telegram.
