“By the decision of the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow, as part of a criminal case against Nidzelsky, interim measures were imposed on bank accounts in various currencies,” TASS was told in court.

The agency’s interlocutor clarified that at the current exchange rate, the total amount of funds in Nidzelsky’s accounts is 41.85 million rubles.

The court also extended the official's house arrest.

In November 2023, a Moscow court placed under house arrest the former Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia Pyotr Nidzelsky, who was detained on charges of major fraud.
