Former Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Russia Alexei Bazhanov was first arrested in April 2013. He was charged with fraud with the property of the Rosagroleasing state company in 2008-2009. He was believed to have stolen 1.124 billion roubles. According to the investigation, Alexei Bazhanov, who was the general director of Masloproduct-Bio, and his two accomplices established fictitious contracts for the supply of high-tech equipment for the production of sunflower oil.

The money was cashed and went into the pocket of ex-officials, and the agricultural enterprise didn't get the promised equipment. Later, the article under which the official was arrested was re-qualified for a softer one: earlier it was a "fraud committed by a criminal group on an especially large scale" (up to 10 years in prison), and it became a "business fraud" (from a fine to up to 5 years of prison). Bazhanov was released after he signed a declaration that he would not leave the country, and then, according to Gazeta.ru, he was released under an amnesty.

Among those who are also considering the possibility of returning to their homeland is the former Sverdlovsk businessman and politician Sergei Kapchuk. With regard to Sergei Kapchuk and his brother Constantine, the criminal case was initiated more than 10 years ago. They were accused of buying a service apartment in Moscow worth 2 billion rubles (Article 159 of the Criminal Code "fraud").

Sergei Kapchuk, while serving as deputy representative of Sverdlovsk Governor Eduard Rossel under the Russian president, asked the chairman of the Sverdlovsk government Alexei Vorobyov for help with the purchase of service housing. The money was allocated by OJSC Sverdlovsk Railways (at the cost of future payments for property tax). Money was received by the company of his twin brother, Constantine, and a three-room apartment was registered to Sergei's wife and then it was sold. Sergei Kapchuk hid from Interpol in Cyprus and the UAE, and then he received a political asylum in the UK.

A lawyer from Nizhny Novgorod, Yevgeny Ryzhov, was wanted by Investigative Committee of Russia in June 2015. According to the investigation, the lawyer tried to raid the capture of a part of the 18th-century ancient mansion in Moscow on Gogol Boulevard the cost of which is estimated at 225 million rubles. Ryzhov first was a witness in a criminal case, which was initiated in April 2015, but refused to come to Moscow for interrogation. After the security forces had brought him forcibly, Ryzhov disappeared "under unidentified circumstances."

Victor Lamash, who held the post of dean of the faculty of medical workers' advanced training in the Peoples Friendship University of Russia (PFUR), also got in the Titov's list. He and his wife are accused of fraud for at least 111 episodes with a preliminary damage of more than 10 million rubles.

In 2012, more than 400 students could not get advanced diplomas from the PFUR. As it turned out later, this was due to the fact that payments for studies were made to the accounts of LLC "MC" Department of Management". The company had nothing to do with the university but was affiliated with the Lamash spouses who had fled abroad. In 2015, they have got in the list of international wanted persons.

Alexander Delis, Pavel Vlasyuk and Alexander Baigushev, heads of the Nizhny Novgorod holding "Kvartstroy - NN". They are accused of having stolen funds of citizens who have invested in the construction of houses. Residents did not receive the keys to new apartments in 2015. After numerous rallies, complaints, and letters to the president, the company executives were prosecuted. Some of them were arrested. Delis, who headed the development company Kvartstroy and LLC Kvartstroy-NN, Vlasyuk, who was a co-owner of the developer, and Baigushev, who was the general director of OOO Kvartstroy-NN, were declared wanted by federal authorities.

Vasily Dyakun, the deputy director of LLC "Center for Support of the Construction Complex of the First Guild of Builders" and one of the owners of the "United Construction Bank" (20%), known for the participation in the case of the head of the First Guild of Builders Stanislav Matselevich. Dyakun, according to investigators, is an accomplice of Matselevich, who is accused of fraud, the creation of a criminal community, illegal banking and cashing. Dyakun got in the wanted list in 2016.

Ryzhkov at a meeting with journalists announced that Georgy Trefilov, as well as businessmen Alexei Shmatko and Leonid Kuraev also got in this list. And The Bell published in its Telegram channel a photo of a list of 16 businessmen, including Evgeny Petrov, Azamat Kildigushev, Andrei Kakovkin, Konstantin Dyulgerov, Vladimir Zyuzin.

The list was transferred to Russian President Vladimir Putin. His press secretary Dmitry Peskov, answering to journalists' question whether it is possible to declare a criminal amnesty for these businessmen, said that they would work on the topic, "if such a question is raised and when it will be raised."
