PoliticsRussian prosecutor who led state seizures was fired, then quietly reinstated without public records

Sergei Bochkarev, head of the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office’s main civil litigation department, was reportedly dismissed in late July and later reinstated. Sources say President Vladimir Putin’s July 27 dismissal decree was revoked, but neither the order nor Bochkarev’s return appears on the government’s legal acts portal. He had overseen cases involving the seizure of Domodedovo Airport and other assets for state ownership.
