The sausage that Sechin gave to Ulyukaev was destroyed by court decision (the fate of the basket is unknown)
The sausage, which lay in a basket donated to the former Minister of Economic Development of Russia Alexei Ulyukaev by the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, was destroyed in May 2017 by the decision of the Basmanny Court. This was requested by the court. “The sausage was destroyed as perishable,” Ulyukaev’s lawyer Victoria Burkovskaya told the BBC. According to her, the material evidence was destroyed on May 17, 2017, six months after the former minister was detained.
