A court in Moscow recovered $750 million from the Magomedov brothers at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office

The Khamovniki Court of Moscow satisfied the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation against the founder of the Summa group, Ziyavudin Magomedov, his brother Magomed Magomedov, seizing $750 million in favor of the state, Interfax reports.

The prosecutor's office demanded to recover from the Magomedov brothers the proceeds from the sale of shares of JSC Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port to Transneft. The agency considered that the port was acquired with illegal income received during the period when Magomed Magomedov served as a member of the Federation Council from the Smolensk region.

This amount has become a record for Russia in such claims, the agency notes.

In parallel, the Meshchansky Court of Moscow is considering a criminal case against the Magomedov brothers on the merits of creating a criminal community and embezzling more than 11 billion rubles. The businessmen have been under arrest since the spring of 2018.
