Property worth 15 million rubles was seized from the beloved of an Ulyanovsk official convicted of bribery

The beloved of an Ulyanovsk official convicted of taking a bribe had her property seized, recognizing it as corrupt. Baza writes about this.

Maria (name changed) started an affair with Valery Khudozhidkov, who was involved in road management, three years ago. The official was caught taking bribes in the amount of 550 thousand rubles from a contractor, for which he received seven years in prison. His girlfriend also came under suspicion of corruption: law enforcement agencies decided that he spent the illegally obtained reward on Maria. On this basis, the court confiscated land with a house, two apartments and old foreign cars worth a total of 15 million rubles from her and her mother.

The Russian woman disputes this decision, insisting that the ex-official did not give her a penny, and she acquired the property with her own funds. The main evidence was that the official income of Maria and her mother did not cover the purchase of this property.

However, they provided evidence of multi-million dollar contracts in their business, but these were not properly reflected in the tax bases. Women acquired property a long time ago, when Khudozhidkov was still married to someone else. One of the seized cars originally belonged to Maria’s stepfather, which he transferred to her mother.
