MOSCOW, December 24 (RAPSI) – The Troitsk Court in Moscow has granted a prosecutor’s bid to forfeit assets worth over 1.2 billion rubles (over $16 million) owned by Dalspetsstroy building company’s ex-CEO Yury Khrizman, a convicted defendant in the Vostochny Cosmodrome embezlement case, to the state, according to a statement of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia.
In June 2018, Russia’s Supreme Court mitigated sentence of Khrizman and his son Mikhail. The sentence given by the Far East District Military Court in Russia’s Khabarovsk was changed because of expiration of the criminal prosecution’s statute of limitations. The term of Yury Khrizman was reduced to 11.5 years behind bars, and fine was decreased to 1 million rubles ($13,500 at the current exchange rate). Mikhail Khrizman was released as he had been charged only with one count of crime.
