In conditions of a conflict of interests, these persons formed its material base by filling it with money from government orders.

In addition, with unconfirmed income, they built country houses, purchased apartments, apartments and other real estate in Russia and France, as well as premium cars, a yacht, securities, expensive watches and jewelry, some of which were registered to affiliated companies.
