A native of Almetyevsk, businessman and designer Azat Tukhvatullin has been placed in custody for two months. This decision was made on September 1 by the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow. This information is contained in the court database. The request for his arrest was made by employees of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, who previously detained Tukhvatullin in Tatarstan with the support of the economic police. Claims against him arose during the investigation of the designated case of the Finiko organized crime group — regarding the fugitive co-founders of the "automatic profit generation project" and a large number of victims across the country. Since the case of fraud involving 160 victims was sent for consideration to the Vakhitovsky District Court of Kazan, it only concerns 10 individuals involved with the platform, led by Kirill Doronin.

As sources from "Real Time" note, claims against Tukhvatullin may have arisen against the backdrop of new testimonies, for example, from the deported Marat and Edward Sabirov. Both were previously charged in absentia as creators of the organized crime group. The same charges may be brought against Tukhvatullin.
In Tatarstan, he is largely known as a partner of the former Minister of Communications of the Russian Federation and Tatarstan, Nikolai Nikiforov, and as a developer of the Innopolis construction project.
