The Tambov Regional Court, acting on the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, has converted certain private assets into state income. This development was announced by the Joint press service of regional courts. The court accepted the administrative claim filed by Deputy Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov against businessman Yuri Shefler and the companies under his control, stating that Shefler transformed his property located on Russian soil into revenue for the Russian Federation.

Earlier actions by the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office targeted Shefler, owner of the Stolichnaya vodka brand, and his corporate holdings with a motion to label the groups as extremist and to confiscate enterprises within Russia. The claim rested on allegations that the Shefler-affiliated entities funded military operations abroad. In line with these proceedings, the Tambov Regional Court reported the seizure of the Amber Talvis distillery, linked to Shefler, at the prosecutor’s request.
