The Prosecutor General's Office has filed a lawsuit demanding that assets associated with the former Chairman of the Government of Karachay-Cherkessia Vladimir Kayshev be transferred to the state. He is currently under arrest.

The total value of the business and assets of Kayshev and his partners is estimated at 42 billion rubles. Among other things, this includes the Pyatigorsk Dairy Plant, Nasib LLC, Elizaveta - Mineralnye Vody LLC, more than 40% of the company Selo im. G.V. Kayshev, as well as 67 land plots, 35 non-residential buildings, residential buildings in the Moscow Region and Stavropol Krai, apartments and cars.

Vladimir Kayshev was arrested in March 2024. He is accused of extortion. The investigation believes that from 2020 to 2022, he and his accomplices demanded that he be given half of the shares of a plant that produced mineral water under the Novoterskaya Tselebnaya brand. When he was refused, he blocked the road to the enterprise. The investigation believes that the former head of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development Department, Igor Khranovsky, also participated in the failed raider takeover. He is also under arrest.
