The Khamovnichesky court of Moscow sentenced to up to seven years in prison the defendants in the case of the scam with the mansion of the ex-head of Rusnano Anatoly Chubais. This was announced on August 7 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

"The main person involved in the case, businessman and former business partner of Chubais Ilya Suchkov, was sentenced to seven years of general regime, while another defendant, Musa Sadayev, a member of the federal political council of the liquidated Parnas party, received 4.5 years of general regime," the correspondent said.

According to him, Suchkov and Sudaev pleaded not guilty, and two other defendants, security guard Alexei Ulyakhin and director of the Argus private security company Anton Polyakov, who were sentenced to 3 years and 10 months and 4.4 years of general regime, respectively, partially admitted guilt.
