In 2024, Russia recovered funds for the state totaling 2.4 trillion rubles. The update was delivered by the Chief Public Prosecutor of the Russian Federation, Igor Krasnov, at the final meeting of the department, broadcast on a Kremlin channel. The figure underscored ongoing efforts to reclaim assets and strengthen state revenue.
Krasnov stressed that in some cases a number of entrepreneurs directed products out of circulation, faced hostile judicial environments, did not contribute to infrastructure development, and did not fully meet tax obligations. Such actions were described as harmful to the economy and the budget.
Krasnov added that during turnover periods, funds were sometimes spent in ways that diverted resources away from productive use. He noted that units fighting corruption, prosecutors, and court decisions were closely linked to formal claims and outcomes, and he called for alignment of business practices with legal and financial norms.
He urged departments to strengthen protections for colleagues and to implement reliable support mechanisms for entrepreneurs, while also reducing administrative burdens that impede legitimate business activity. The aim was to foster a safer, more predictable environment for investment and growth.
During the session, Krasnov highlighted that last year authorities recovered 504 billion rubles from individuals identified as corrupt officials, demonstrating the scale of enforcement and asset recovery.
Regarding 2024, the anti-corruption effort was detailed: about 73 thousand disciplinary actions were initiated, 703 people were dismissed due to loss of confidence, and more than 3 thousand criminal cases were started as part of the ongoing program.
Earlier court actions returned assets to state revenue from a major producer, underscoring ongoing efforts to ensure that state resources are preserved for public use.
