THE COURT ORDERED THE WIFE OF THE EX-DEPUTY MINISTER OF ENERGY TO HAND OVER JEWELRY
The Arbitration Court of the Tver region ordered Svetlana Svetlitskaya, the wife of the bankrupt former Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia Stanislav Svetlitsky, to transfer a set of jewelry to the bankruptcy estate of her husband. Among them are jewelry, precious stones, watches, coins and ingots of precious metals. However, the appeal (the 14th AAC) later issued an act requiring that the ruling be reviewed anew. The hearings are scheduled to be held in November.

Stanislav Svetlitsky, a former official who held a responsible post in the Ministry of Energy, received a 12-year sentence five years ago for embezzlement of over 7.7 billion rubles. Three years later, the AU granted him the status of bankrupt, launching the process of selling his assets. This year, the capital's court ordered the transfer of Rostovvodokanal's securities to the state, whose owner was considered to be an ex-official. Their value was estimated at over 4.6 billion. 

In June, the ACE decided that his wife Svetlana should be obliged to hand over her jewelry, watches, medals, coins and a collection of expensive watches of elite brands to the manager (FU). Only jewelry (precious metal chains) weigh over 280 grams. Gold and silver bars – 50 grams each. 

The property includes rubies, sapphires, topaz, emeralds. The court determined that the failure to comply with this decision would require the woman to pay 10,000 a day. 

However, the ex-official's wife challenged the initial court ruling, citing the lack of proper notification of the meeting. The 14th AAC recognized her arguments as well-founded. Also, as part of the process, documents and materials of the criminal trial of the former deputy minister were requested. According to them, all valuables previously seized from the house where the Svetlitskys lived were returned.
