Hundreds of millions of rubles were frozen from the accounts of Elena Blinovskaya and her husband, according to a report by TASS that follows ongoing tax-related investigations. The authorities say that, as part of the criminal case against Blinovskaya, they identified and seized four bank accounts tied to the defendants and two additional Blinovskaya accounts opened in two major capital banks. The total amount of funds blocked equals about one hundred million rubles, held in various currencies and preserved within the banking system as the inquiry proceeds.
Officials noted that Blinovskaya and her husband maintain accounts at several prominent financial institutions, including JSC Russian Ziraat Bank, JSC Alfa-Bank, JSC Severgazbank, JSCB Fora-Bank, and PJSC MTS Bank. The seizure of these accounts is described by investigators as a measure to secure potential restitution and to prevent any possible dissipation of assets during the investigation process.
Earlier information indicated that Elena Blinovskaya had paused the sale of certain courses under circumstances tied to the investigation. This decision appears to be part of broader compliance steps taken in response to the case and to the expectations of preventive measures that could be imposed by the court or law enforcement authorities.
According to updates from the Shot Telegram channel, Blinovskaya chose to suspend sales activities in order to avoid possible judicial complications or imprisonment linked to the ongoing tax-related case. The channel notes that the timing of the sales halt aligns with heightened scrutiny of financial transactions and with efforts to preserve evidence and assets during the investigation, though official court statements have not publicly detailed all the factors motivating this decision.
