The Moscow City Court examined Maxim Klochin control complaint by Valentina Sizova on the case of ‘Ashot Yeghiazaryan’ and returned the apartment under arrest to the alleged accomplice of the former deputy of the RF State Duma Ashot Yeghiazaryan.

As a reminder, the Court of Basmanny District put the two apartments that belonged to Klochin under arrest on May 23, 2011 and on July 11 of the same year the appeals instance made a decision that the restriction was lawful. However, Klochin’s lawyer Sizova demanded control examination. As the latter found out ‘the case concerns the violation of property rights of the third party, who does not assume any responsibility for Maxim Klochin’s actions’. Sizova noted that ‘Article 115 of the RF Criminal Procedure Code regulating property arrest was violated. The apartment is not connected with criminal activities; it was obtained before Klochin was born’. Besides that ‘it was privatized by the father and son without certain share’ and finally it is the only place of residence of Klochin the father and his wife. ‘The restriction is a limitation of the property right of the third party. The judgment is unlawful and should be declared void’ said the lawyer.

Prosecutor Vladimir Vedernikov did not share that position and said that ‘the limitation of that apartment does not cancel the right of the father for that property or his right to use it’ so the decision should remain unchanged.

Anyways, the presidency of the Court of Moscow declared the decision of the Court of Basmanny District void and sent the case for a new examination to the first instance.

As a reminder, “Pravo.ru” webpage wrote that a new criminal case was initiated against the former deputy of the RF State Duma Ashot Yeghiazaryan and his assistant Vitali Gogokhia, who were accused of a large-sized robbery in 2012 and are followed by the Russian detectives now. They were alleged in obtaining the stock certificates of the businessman Mikhail Ananev’s ‘Invest-Center’ OJSC in the amount of 5 billion 962 million RUB by ‘through fraud and trust abuse’. This new criminal case was attached to the examination of the enrapture of the property of the former deputy head of the Federal Property Fund of the RF Mikhail Ananev and businessman Vitali Smagin.

As for the first case, as the investigation side thinks, between 2006-2010 Yeghiazaryan with the help of his brother Artemi, Gogokhia, Klochin and other people not yet identified obtained the property that belonged to Vitali Smagin through fraud and trust abuse, more precisely 20 % of stock certificates of the ‘Centurion Alliance’ LLC in the amount of 1 billion 575 million RUB.

All the alleged participants are remotely arrested by the decision of the court. As Ananev’s lawyer Rouben Markaryan informs both Klochin and Yeghiazryan are now in the U.S., Gogokhia is in Georgia.
