MOSCOW: A Moscow court ruled on Tuesday to hand over the assets of the country’s third-largest airport, Moscow’s Domodedovo, to the Russian state at the Prosecutor General’s request, court filings showed.
Domodedovo’s assets were owned by Russian businessman Dmitry Kamenshchik or his companies. Kamenshchik also had citizenship of Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, according to Russian media, and according to the court documents prosecutors believed the ownership structure could expose the airport, an entity of strategic importance, to the risk of foreign influence.
Domodedovo did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Domodedovo case is the latest in a series of asset seizures initiated by prosecutors.
