The son of former minister Mikhail Abyzov left Russia, fearing the guardianship authorities
The son of the former Minister for Open Government Affairs Mikhail Abyzov left Russia, as he could be taken away by guardianship authorities. Abyzov spoke about this at a meeting of the Basmanny Court to extend the arrest.
The former minister recalled that he has two minor children from his ex-wife in care, but due to the arrest of accounts, he cannot pay them alimony.
“As a result of the fact that my middle son, who lived and studied in Russia, in my absence could be seized by the guardianship authorities as a minor, he was forced to leave for America to live. This is a great personal tragedy for him, because he cannot imagine his life outside of Russia,” the ex-minister said.
- Mikhail Abyzov was detained and placed under arrest in early 2019 on charges of fraud and creating a criminal community.
