Victims cannot determine the damage by the outcome of the criminal case against ex-State Duma deputy Sergei Natarov, said the defendant’s lawyer Alexander Khropot.

According to him, the court presented a response from Rosreestr with explanations from the bankruptcy trustees of three housing and communal services enterprises in Igarka, recognized as victims in the case against Natarov and other persons. Rosreestr indicates that victims cannot establish the amount of damage caused during the supply of goods for the needs of housing and communal services in the city of Igarka. At the same time, at the court hearing, prosecutor Kladkina supported on their behalf civil claims against Natarova and other defendants in the amounts of 60 million, 22 million and 2.4 million rubles.

“The prosecutor did not explain how these amounts were calculated, or by what actions each of the defendants caused the damage. The injured bankruptcy trustees did not appear at the court hearing. At the same time, they previously stated that they signed civil claims at the request of investigators, but did not delve into their justification. The exact amount of damage confirmed by a reliable examination is a prerequisite for an economic criminal case. In our case, there is none of this,” said lawyer Alexander Khropot.

At the same time, the defense repeatedly pointed out that the victims were identified incorrectly, since money from the regional budget, and not from municipal enterprises, was spent on the purchase of goods for the needs of the housing and communal services of the city of Igarka. In addition, the court agreed to send the materials to the police to make a decision on initiating a criminal case against the bankruptcy trustees on the grounds of fraud, since they had already received the funds, and recovery from the defendants would be a retaliation.

The decision to collect funds jointly and severally from each defendant was postponed by the judge when making the final decision in the case.
