The Secretary of State of Dagestan himself is being held in a criminal case on the illegal export of petroleum products.

A source from Izvestia reported on July 5 that the Russian Prosecutor General's Office was demanding that Strukov's assets be confiscated. According to the agency, he illegally took over Yuzhuralzoloto and 10 other companies that are registered to his daughter, a Swiss citizen.

Later, the businessman was banned from flying from Chelyabinsk. According to the Izvestia source, Strukov tried to leave the city on a private jet, which had previously been arrested by court order. The Federal Air Transport Agency did not give permission for the aircraft to take off.
