Earlier, on June 25, 2022, the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow postponed the consideration of the criminal case on the theft of property from businessman Anatoly Chubais for an indefinite period. His lawyer added that the next hearing was to be held on Monday, June 27. In his opinion, the postponement was due to the absence of Chubais at the meetings.

Before that, on June 21, 2022, it became known that the defendants in the case of theft of property from the former CEO of "Rusnano" Anatoly Chubais in a residential complex in the village of Peredelki, Odintsovo district, did not admit their guilt.

On December 27, 2017, the lawyer of Parnas member Musa Sadaev, whose case is merged with the case of Suchkov, stated the total amount of damage for the theft of property from Chubais at 1 billion rubles.

In March 2022, businessman Chubais left the post of special representative of the Russian president for relations with international organizations to achieve sustainable development goals and left the Russian Federation.

It was reported that what happened was due to the businessman's disagreement with the country's policy on the defense of Donbass. At the same time, Chubais's entourage confirmed that he had left his post and the country, but did not give any reasons why this happened.
