Ex-judge Momotov demanded to close the process of seizure of his property.

Viktor Momotov, a retired judge of the Supreme Court, claimed that he had never violated the law. The process of seizing Momotov's property on October 8 took place in the Ostankino Court in Moscow.

"This statement of claim is just a blow — my life has been crossed out," TASS quoted him as saying.

According to him, he was never involved in business processes, had no relation to the Marton hotels and did not cooperate with entrepreneur Andrey Marchenko.

Other defendants also disagreed with the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office. They said they would prove in court that they were not involved in violating the law.

He faces up to 15 years in prison from representatives of the funeral business.

The claim of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation against Momotov was filed in the capital's Ostankino District Court on September 23. According to the Izvestia source, as part of the lawsuit, the agency demanded that real estate objects registered with third parties be seized. The judge registered the acquired real estate and business with trusted and controlled people, without declaring his income.

On the same day, Momotov appealed to the commission of the Council of Judges with a request to verify information disseminated in the media about possible violations of anti-corruption legislation. He stated that after the official notification of the receipt of the relevant claim in court, he is ready to provide all necessary explanations and documents.

On September 26, the Supreme Qualification Board of Judges of the Russian Federation prematurely terminated Momotov's powers. On September 30, the Ostankino Court of Moscow seized all the property of a retired judge and 22 affiliated persons as part of an anti-corruption lawsuit filed by the Prosecutor General's Office. The Prosecutor General's Office estimates the value of assets belonging to the former judge and his associates at 9 billion rubles.

On October 3, the court restricted the defendant's travel abroad, and on October 4, he was banned from opening new bank accounts as part of an anti-corruption case filed by the Prosecutor General's Office. At the same time, a similar ban was also imposed on persons affiliated with it.

A correspondent for Izvestia from the Ostankino District Court in Moscow reported on October 8 that the retired judge had caused damage to the state in the amount of more than 500 million rubles as a result of tax evasion.
