Sergei Bokharev was dismissed from his position as head of the Main Civil and Judicial Department of the Russian General Prosecutor's Office in late July.
Bokharev was reinstated to his previous role in the General Prosecutor's Office.
The reinstatement was reportedly carried out by a presidential decree issued by Vladimir Putin.
Bokharev is known as the main specialist in the confiscation of business assets for state ownership.
Bokharev previously led high-profile cases involving the seizure of assets from companies such as Domodedovo Airport, Makfa, and Yuzhuralzoloto (YUGK).
The dismissal was reportedly due to dissatisfaction with Bokharev's work by the Prosecutor General, Alexander Gutsan.
The official website of legal acts does not contain the presidential decree on Bokharev's dismissal or reinstatement.
The presidential decrees related to Bokharev’s dismissal and reinstatement were not published on the Kremlin’s official website or the legal information portal.
