Kommersant: The Supreme Court of Dagestan recovered 5 million rubles from deputy Magomedov for Lexus and Toyota
The Supreme Court of Dagestan ordered to recover 5 million rubles from the deputy of the Makhachkala city assembly Kurakhma Magomedov – the equivalent of the cost of the two Lexus and Toyota cars he bought for corruption proceeds. This was reported by Kommersant.
The decision was made at the suit of the prosecutor's office, which, together with the FSB, revealed a violation of anti-corruption legislation by the people's choice. The check in relation to Magomedov was initiated by the former head of Dagestan Vladimir Vasiliev and the government of the republic.
In 2017, Magomedov was found with new cars worth 8.3 million rubles, while his total income was 2.7 million rubles. At the request of the prosecutor's office, the Soviet court of Makhachkala ruled to recover 8.3 million rubles from the deputy, but he appealed this decision. As a result, the Supreme Court of the republic reduced the amount by three million.
Magomedov claimed that he bought the cars with money donated to his son for a wedding by relatives, as well as for the sold apricots from his garden. He has been under house arrest since February 2019 in the case of gas theft at Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Makhachkala.
