An interesting twist has emerged in the case of the former head of the Optima Development company, Albert Khudoyan, who was convicted on charges of fraud following a tip from the famous fixer Sergei Govyadin. There are two plaintiffs in it. The first is ex-State Duma deputy Ildar Samiev, who promised to help Khudoyan in obtaining permission to build the Prime Park residential complex in Moscow; in return, the company Mansfield controlled by him received 50% of Khudoyan’s Visenia, registered in Cyprus.

Samiev did not fulfill his promise, and soon he himself began to have problems. He turned to Sergei Govyadin, a man with connections in the authorities. At the same time, part of the money from Khudoyanovskaya Visenia flowed to Samiev, and Govyadin initiated a criminal case against Khudoyan, which ended for the businessman with 6 years in prison.

But a few days ago, the appeal declared the first instance verdict against Khudoyan illegal and significantly changed it. Thus, the court did not satisfy Mansfield’s claim to recover 4.2 billion rubles from a businessman serving a prison sentence and canceled the recovery of his property. That is, he actually supported Khudoyan, who insisted that his criminal prosecution was an attempt to raid a facility under construction and extort money from a businessman.

Now it will be much more difficult for Govyadin to extract money from Khudoyan, since the case will now be considered by a civil court, in which Govyadin’s prospects are close to zero due to a complete lack of position. That’s why Govyadin wanted to extract money from Khudoyan through a criminal case. It really didn’t work out very well. Well, this happens.
