The Prosecutor General’s Office (GP) wanted to seize the assets of Alexander Kireev, a former employee of the central apparatus of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, accused of bribery. This was reported by “Kommersant”.
The case was filed in Moscow’s Khoroshevsky Court. The defendants in this case are Kireev and his family. He is accused of using his official position to organize a criminal community, especially large-scale corruption and fraud.
According to the investigation, Kireev worked for 12 years in the central office of the Investigative Committee of Russia, where, among other things, he took part in official checks of his colleagues. According to tax returns, from 2011 to 2022, his official income exceeded 21 million rubles. At the same time, his wife had no income. The prosecutor’s office noted that since 2016, Kireev began to actively buy real estate and register it in the name of his parents.
During this time, he bought an apartment on Moscow’s Bolshaya Naberezhnaya Street worth 17.6 million rubles, apartments in an elite residential complex on Khoroshevskoye Shosse, an apartment on Khoroshevskaya Street 3, and four parking spaces. Part of the property was sold in 2021. The officer’s parents claimed that they bought real estate with their savings and provided financial assistance to their son. However, prosecutors believe that their expenses far exceeded their total income.
Kireev’s parents also bought a plot of land with a residential building in Solnechnogorsk in 2004, in 2010 they bought an apartment on Berzarina Street in the Russian capital, and in 2012 they bought a plot of land in Sergiev Posad, where they built a house.
The Prosecutor General’s Office states that Colonel Kireev devoted his life to “the corrupt enrichment of himself, his relatives and persons closely associated with him.” The supervisory authority demanded the confiscation of real estate remaining from the Kireevs and the recovery of 26 million rubles from them, equivalent to the value of the assets sold.
