The Prosecutor’s Office should intensify its activity regarding the confiscation of Russian citizens’ property in criminal cases, stated General Prosecutor Alexandr Guțan during a meeting of the institution.

The war with Ukraine, now in its fourth year, and the drastic expansion of the powers of the security structures have caused deep ruptures in Russia’s governance system, pushing it towards internal power struggles. According to sources close to the Kremlin, quoted by “Important Stories”, what is happening at the top increasingly resembles growing chaos: usual decision-making mechanisms are being destroyed, everyone is pulling resources towards their own faction, and the security services are acting without limits, as they please. “There is a systemic battle for any kind of resources. Because they have become much fewer,” explains one of the…

Lukoil is trying to quickly alienate all its assets outside of Russia before American sanctions fully come into effect, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. The company wants a single transaction for the entire portfolio, but this approach complicates negotiations, as potential buyers are only interested in certain parts of the business. Bloomberg notes that a discussed solution could be a two-step process: a buyer — possibly a financial company — to take over the entire package, with the assets to be subsequently resold separately to investors interested in certain areas or projects. Among the companies analyzing individual assets are…
