Blogger Lerchek (real name: Valeria Chekalina), who has been under house arrest for over a year in connection with a currency fraud case, had 22 sets of jewelry and 46 million rubles in cash seized from her, RIA Novosti reports.

During a search of the blogger's home, jewelry from luxury brands such as Graff, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, and others was seized. Among them were several pairs of earrings, eight bracelets, necklaces, and three watches, including a Rolex. Investigators also found 46 million rubles in cash. The money has now been seized.

Earlier, 33-year-old Lerchek, who is pregnant with her fourth child, pleaded not guilty in court.

As a reminder, Lerchek and her ex-husband, Artyom Chekalin, are accused of illegally transferring more than 250 million rubles abroad. The couple divorced in the summer of 2024 and are raising three children together. According to investigators, the bloggers earned millions by selling online courses and fitness marathons and transferred the money to the UAE using forged documents. The former spouses face 5 to 10 years in prison, and they are under house arrest while the trial is ongoing.
