Since 2023, 15 strategic enterprises in the field of the military-industrial complex with a total value exceeding 333 billion rubles have been returned to state ownership through judicial proceedings. He said this in an interview “To Kommersant” Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Krasnov.
According to him, some of these businesses were illegally moved out of the state, and there were also some that fell under foreign control.
The chief prosecutor said residents of hostile countries pursued a consistent policy of taking ownership of businesses, liquidating them and undermining Russia’s defense capability, and diverting all profits abroad.
In 2024, the court accepted several requests from the Prosecutor General’s Office regarding the nationalization of companies such as the Chelyabinsk Electrometallurgical Plant and the Rolf car dealer. In February this year, the State Enterprise requested a review of the 1990s privatization of the Ivanovo Heavy Machine Tool Plant (IZTS).
