The court will consider the prosecutor's office's claim to recover Kibovsky's property for 1 billion rubles.

The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has filed an anti-corruption lawsuit in the Kuntsevsky Court of Moscow against the former minister of the government of the capital, ex-head of the Department of Culture Alexander Kibovsky, his relatives and trusted persons demanding to recover property worth more than 1 billion rubles. This was reported on November 11.

According to TASS, the official income of Kibovsky and his family members for the period from 2010 to 2024 amounted to 211 million rubles, but they purchased real estate and cars worth more than 226 million rubles, including seven apartments in Moscow and the Moscow region, expensive cars and motorcycles.

"In order to conceal his real property status, which could not be achieved at the expense of his salary and the income of his family members, expensive real estate and vehicles were registered with relatives and trusted persons," the prosecutor's office noted.

According to the Prosecutor General's Office, part of the property was reissued after the criminal case was initiated in 2023, so the agency requests that these transactions be declared null and void and interim measures be taken before the lawsuit is considered. In addition, the prosecutor's office demands to recover 37 million rubles of Kibovsky's income from securities transactions for 2020-2024, since this income, according to the investigation, was obtained as a result of corruption violations and cannot be considered legitimate.
