Bailiffs have instituted eight proceedings against ex-senator Shpigel

Bailiffs have instituted eight proceedings against the founder of the pharmaceutical company Biotech, former senator Boris Shpigel. The information published on January 5 in the database of the Federal Bailiff Service was reviewed by Izvestia.

The largest recovery will amount to Br8.15 billion, while another proceeding will recover Br450 million from Shpigel.

In addition, the ex-senator has not paid Br364.3 thousand for the apartment and utility bills.

Other proceedings relate to unpaid duties, costs and fees.

On November 5 last year, the Preobrazhensky Court of Moscow released the ex-senator from serving his sentence due to the state of his health. He was immediately taken to a medical center. He was admitted to the pre-trial detention center, already having a number of diseases, and now he can not move independently and serve himself without the help of third parties, said his lawyer Zarina Farnieva.

On December 10, Moscow City Court approved the prosecutor's appeal against Shpigel's release. The prosecutor's office asked to clarify the sentence, indicating that additional punishments should be executed according to the law. The former senator's outstanding sentence is seven years.

In January 2024, the court sentenced the businessman to 11 years in prison for bribing the former governor of the Penza region Ivan Belozertsev. The ex-head of the region was sentenced to 12 years. According to the investigation, from January to September 2020 Belozertsev received from Shpigel, his wife Yevgenia and the director of Pharmacia OJSC Anton Koloskov bribes through intermediaries in the amount of 31 million rubles. Koloskov and Shpigel's wife were sentenced to seven years and six months, while the intermediaries of the deal, Fyodor Fedotov and Gennady Markov, were sentenced to seven and a half years.
