Court Rejected Prosecution in Reseizing a CDF Client’s Property
On August 29, while reviewing a petition on seizing Criminal Defense Firm client property net over 5 m rubles, Taganskiy District Court of Moscow accepted the arguments of CDF Partner Artyom Polovinkin and rejected to satisfy the prosecution’s petition.
Despite the reverse of the instance of appeal’s decision on 04.05.2022 on the client’s property seizure (earlier permitted by court during pre-trial), the prosecutor resubmitted a similar petition upon the same basis. The baselessness of the Investigative Committee investigator petition, and the prosecutor’s repeated petition lies in the fact that the client is a priori a witness to the criminal case. From the very beginning, the client’s property was illegally withheld by the investigation and to be arrested under pretense and with spoliation of title papers. The client was deprived of the right to use his property for a year just for assigning it for temporary use to his acquaintance and later on accused of committing crimes provided for by Parts 6, Clause 290 and 2 (286) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
