[Regnum] The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has sent a request to the United Arab Emirates to seize five apartments in Dubai belonging to a former Moscow traffic police inspector. This was reported on April 15 by Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov. He arrived in Abu Dhabi on a visit, where he met with the head of the UAE Accountability Office, Humaid Obaid Abushib, and asked that the issue be taken under control. "At the last meeting, I shared our experience of confiscating property for the benefit of the state, the legality of the sources of acquisition of which was not confirmed by officials. We filed one of such lawsuits against a former Russian policeman who owns five apartments in Dubai," Krasnov was quoted on the Telegram channel of the Prosecutor General's Office. The head of the Russian department reported that the total cost of these apartments exceeds 3 million dirhams (about 68 million rubles at the exchange rate).
The Prosecutor General's Office clarified that the request concerns former traffic police inspector Sergei Kuznetsov. In December 2022, the Lefortovo District Court granted the agency's claim to transfer his property to the state. As reported by the Regnum news agency, in December 2022, the court ordered the confiscation of Kuznetsov's property worth 129 million rubles, as well as more than 50 million rubles in cash. It was established that he and his relatives acquired more than 20 real estate properties and one car, and also kept large sums of money in bank safe deposit boxes. None of those questioned could explain where they got the money for expensive purchases.
