Following a request filed by investigators a court has ruled to arrest two defendants in absentia.
It has been reported earlier that eight defendants were charged with involvement in the murder of Mineyev and frauds with his property, three of whom were charged in absentia.
During the probe it was revealed that some of the businessman’s employees were involved in frauds with his property. This way, in November 2013, head of the businessman’s legal service Yulia Yegorova conspired with unidentified individuals to steal from their boss the ownership right on a commercial real estate located in the city of Moscow. Secretly she changed the ownership documents causing the businessman damage on a very large scale. When Mineyev found out about the scam, he went to the police, who launched a criminal investigation in the takeover of his property. However, on 22 January 2014, the businessman was shot dead downtown Korolyov in his car.
As a result the criminal cases in Mineyev’s murder and stealing of his property have been joined in a single proceeding and sent for further investigation to the first department of for major cases the Moscow Region Main Investigations Directorate.
A number of people are now wanted. A number of investigative and search operations are underway to find out all the circumstances of the crimes. The investigation is ongoing.
