A court in Moscow has arrested 43 bank deposits in the case of former Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov. This was reported by RIA Novosti on September 23 with reference to the court materials.
As the agency pointed out, the court decision mentioned 43 deposits, which are currently open in three Russian banks.
Earlier, the defense side of the former deputy minister reported that the property of a wide range of people, including Ivanov's parents, had been arrested in the fraud case.
Earlier, September 19, Basmanny court of Moscow extended the detention of Timur Ivanov and his alleged accomplice, businessman Sergei Borodin, for three months. The defendants in the case will be in custody until December 23.
The detention of Ivanov became known on April 23. The next day he was arrested. The defense of the former deputy defense minister filed an appeal against the court decision. Ivanov is accused of patronizing the contractors of the Ministry of Defense in exchange for property benefits. After charges were brought against him under Part 6 Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Receipt of a bribe on a particularly large scale"), the high-ranking military officer was suspended from his post.
A friend of the former deputy minister, Sergei Borodin, was also taken into custody as part of the case; on April 24, he testified against the former official. The third defendant in the case, Alexander Fomin, was also arrested. According to the investigation, he has significant ties with the management of the Defense Ministry enterprises and helped Ivanov to get a bribe. In addition, accounts, assets and real estate belonging to the former deputy minister were arrested. The court seized two cars and a motorcycle of the official, including a Chevrolet Suburban.
Ivanov is accused of taking a bribe in the amount of 1.185 billion rubles. His defense confirmed this amount. On July 18, a law enforcement source said that the former official refused to make a deal with the investigation and did not conclude a pre-trial agreement.
