The company of the son of the Vice President of Russian Railways Katse will pay $ 6 million in the Magnitsky case

The Cyprus company Prevezon Holdings, owned by Denis Katskov, - the son of vice president of Russian Railways Peter Katsk, agreed to pay almost $ 5.9 million in a civil case to laundering money withdrawn from Russia. It is reported by the website Law and Order in Russia. The emergence of the theft was facilitated by the late Hermitage Capital Foundation Sergei Magnitsky.

The Katsya company gave consent after May 12, the judge of the Southern District of New York William Poly rejected its petition for the termination of the case. On the 15th, hearing will begin on the merits of the lawsuit filed by the district prosecutor's office.

It is noted that the amount that the defendant agreed to pay is three times more than the amount of funds washed, according to the supervisory authority, through Prevezon Holding. The prosecutor's office established that only $ 1.965 million of the stolen 230 million (5.4 billion rubles) was withdrawn through this company.

“The event in New York is a great victory for the international campaign for justice for Sergei Magnitsky,” said Hermitage Capital, William Brighter. “We are sure that it opens the way for similar actions in other countries of the world. Persons from the crime revealed to Sergey Magnitsky should know that they will ultimately be confiscated.”

The guarantee to pay money was signed personally by Katskiv-Jr.. Now this document should be approved by the American court during the hearing on the merits of the prosecutor’s claim.
