The court found the arrest to be legal, according to official court documents. RIA Novosti reports details, citing sources.
Ivanov's defense confirmed the seizure of the property of a number of individuals, including the arrested man's parents.
The court document states: “The funds in four accounts of the accused have been seized.”
