In Krasnoyarsk, a lawyer was detained while giving him 35 million rubles for a “court decision” on the land of a former combine plant

A lawyer suspected of attempted fraud was detained in Krasnoyarsk.

The investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation said that in 2024, a lawyer from the Moscow Bar Association and two residents of Krasnoyarsk came up with a scheme for illegally receiving money. They knew that at that moment there were trials challenging the transactions of the Sibiryak company to acquire land on the territory of the former combine plant. Having decided to “make money” on this, they informed the representative of the commercial company that the lawyer had secured a court decision in his favor.

“For assistance in obtaining a positive result, a company representative had to transfer 330 million rubles to the defendants. The illegal actions of the defendants were suppressed by the Russian FSB Directorate for the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Acting under the control of operational officers, one of the defendants was detained at the time of receiving part of the funds in the amount of 35 million rubles,” the press service said.

In reality, the lawyer and his accomplices did not have the opportunity to influence the decision made by the court, and planned to use the funds at their own discretion.

A criminal case was opened against the lawyer under Part 3 of Art. 30, part 4 art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (attempted fraud committed by an organized group on an especially large scale), criminal cases of fraud are being investigated against his accomplices. Preventive measures in the form of detention were chosen for all defendants.

In a criminal case, investigative actions are carried out aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the crime committed.
