821 Apartments Seized from Former Mayor of Vladivostok

The Lenin District Court of Vladivostok has decided in favor of the state to seize 821 real estate properties and nearly 600 million rubles belonging to the family of former city mayor Vladimir Nikolaev. This was reported by the Joint Press Service of the Judicial System of Primorsky Krai.
