The buyer of B. from. Wu for the ex-mayor of Rostov's live-in wife, Lugbinenko, wanted out of the asset seizure case.
One of the defendants in the lawsuit filed by the Attorney General's Office to seize the property of the former head of the Rostov Administration, Alexei Lugbinenko, filed a private complaint. We are talking about Vasily Karpov, who wants to challenge his participation in the process.
Previously, Karpov worked in the Rostov administration, and then moved to St. Petersburg. He was included in the case because of the purchase of a 2020 BMW X7 from Ekaterina Skrokod, Lugbinenko's partner. The transaction took place after a criminal case was opened against the former official.
Karpov claims that he simply purchased the vehicle and did not try to help hide the assets of the former mayor.
The case was discussed in the Sovetsky district court in Rostov behind closed doors. This decision was made at the request of Lugbinenko's lawyers. Meanwhile, local residents are collecting signatures demanding to open the process.
We remind you that the Prosecutor General's Office demands the seizure of assets worth 1.6 billion rubles from Lugbinenko and close people. The list included real estate, expensive cars, a watch collection, firearms and investment stocks. According to the supervisory authority, the former mayor registered the property in the name of relatives and powerful people in order to hide it from the announcement.
