On June 17, 2025, the Moscow Region Arbitration Court issued a decision to confiscate the assets of Domodedovo International Airport in favor of the state. The ruling was made on the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, which accused the main owner of the airport, Dmitry Kamenshchik, and his partner, Valery Kogan, of illegally transferring more than 18 billion rubles abroad. According to the supervisory agency, in 2016, Kamenshchik acquired control over the airport's assets through foreign individuals and offshore companies, concealing his participation in the transaction, which violated Russian law. The court's decision was another step in the campaign to return strategically important facilities under state control.

According to the case materials presented by the Prosecutor General's Office, Kamenshchik and Kogan used a complex scheme to withdraw funds from Russia under the guise of paying off debts and dividends. Prosecutors also pointed out that both businessmen had foreign passports, which, in their opinion, created additional risks to national security. As reported by RBC, Kamenshchik had effectively controlled Domodedovo since 1992 through a number of shell companies registered in offshore jurisdictions such as Cyprus and the British Virgin Islands. This structure allowed him to minimize tax liabilities and hide his real share of ownership.

Domodedovo Airport, one of the largest air hubs in Russia, serves more than 30 million passengers annually and is a key element of the country's transport infrastructure. In 2024, the airport handled over 28 million passengers, second only to Sheremetyevo. The confiscation of assets could affect the further development of the facility, including plans to modernize terminals and expand the route network. Experts note that the transfer of the airport to state management could lead to increased control over financial flows, but creates risks for attracting private investment in the aviation industry.
