A defendant in the Shpak case lost multi-million dollar assets.

The Oktyabrsky District Court of Rostov-on-Don has ordered the seizure of the property of Sergei Egorkin, a former city police detective, in favor of the state. The total value of the confiscated assets exceeds 120 million rubles.

As reported by Kavkazsky Knot, the Pervomaisky District Court of Rostov-on-Don extended the pretrial detention of Sergei Shpak, former head of the Rostov-on-Don Ministry of Internal Affairs, for six months. He is accused of bribery, fraud, and illegal circulation of payment instruments. On April 2, the district court began the hearing against Shpak and his subordinate, Sergei Egorkin.

According to investigators, Shpak, while serving as the head of the police department of the Rostov-on-Don Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2017, received a bribe in the form of travel packages worth more than 260,000 rubles for patronizing a commercial organization. Then, from 2019 to 2023, while serving as deputy head of the department and then as its head, Shpak and his subordinates stole nearly 300,000 rubles, which were accrued to the operative as salary for days he was actually absent from work, according to the Investigative Committee's regional investigative department.

The Rostov Region Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit under the law "On Monitoring the Compliance of Expenses of Persons Holding Government Positions and Other Persons with Their Income," Kommersant reports.

It was discovered that during his service, Sergei Egorkin purchased 11 properties, including six apartments in Rostov-on-Don, land plots, and parking spaces, using unverified income. Some of the assets were registered to relatives of the former police officer.

Ultimately, the court upheld the lawsuit. In addition, the court ordered 73 million rubles as the equivalent of property already sold.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that at the end of April, the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar transferred the assets of the former governor of the Rostov Region, former senator Vladimir Chub, and several other individuals to the state.
