The former Deputy Minister of Transport, Alexey Semyonov, was arrested in 2024 for large-scale fraud and has had his assets seized amounting to six billion rubles. Semyonov's illicit activities involved awarding government contracts to companies owned by acquaintances through his controlled structure, "ProtectionInfoTrans," resulting in damages of 240 million rubles funneled to his family members.
As a consequence of the court ruling, various assets including shares in capital, securities, real estate in Moscow, Sochi, Anapa, Moscow Region, and Crimea, as well as land plots were converted into state income. Additionally, luxury cars, a motor yacht, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, jewelry, high-end watches, 258.5 million rubles in cash, and a 900k ruble fine were confiscated from the disgraced former official.
