Overview
- The freeze covers property of former deputy defense minister Dmitry Bulgakov, his relatives and two co-defendants, with the stated value exceeding 180 million rubles.
- Items under arrest include apartments and houses, and lawyers say assets of children and grandchildren of the defendants were also targeted.
- Bulgakov, contractor Herman Yakovlev and retired officer Gennady Seleznev remain in custody on a fraud case tied to lighting and energy‑efficiency contracts at the Kirov Military Medical Academy, where investigators cite about 50 million rubles in unjust enrichment.
- In a separate action, the General Prosecutor’s Office filed a civil suit in Moscow to seize just over 100 million rubles in assets linked to convicted former Bashkortostan official Alan Marzaev, listing about 20 properties including a North Ossetia farm and premium cars.
- The court set the next hearing in the Marzaev asset case for February 17, while Bulgakov denies wrongdoing and says the contract at issue was signed after he left military service.
