Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has asked a court to transfer property linked to Vyacheslav Telegin, relatives and associates to the state. Sources cited by RBC say the claim concerns assets worth at least 154.3 million rubles, while their market value could reach 3 billion rubles.
A deputy prosecutor general filed the claim with the Rudnichny District Court in Kemerovo, which accepted it on October 2. The defendants named include Telegin, his wife Svetlana, children Anastasia and Alexander, Valentina Golubovskaya and Yarmarka LLC. RBC cited two sources familiar with the document.
Prosecutors allege that Telegin took part in commercial businesses and received income while holding public office, in breach of anti-corruption law. The filing says that from 2010 to 2022 he lobbied for EcoStroy LK LLC, which secured more than 200 state and municipal contracts, including projects to build housing for socially vulnerable residents.
The prosecution says assets were registered to relatives and affiliated companies to avoid disclosure and conceal the source of funds. The list includes a retail and administrative centre, the Zarya Hotel, commercial buildings and premises, land plots, homes in Kemerovo and Novosibirsk regions, and a BMW X7. Prosecutors are asking the court to transfer all listed property to the state.
One source cited by RBC put the combined market value at about 3 billion rubles; the sources said the claim does not appraise all assets prosecutors consider corruptly acquired. The court has yet to rule.
Telegin served as Kuzbass first deputy governor and chair of the regional government. In June 2026 he was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined 4.8 million rubles in a fraud case involving housing procurement for eligible residents. The prosecution’s new claim is a separate matter for the court.
