In Moscow, the bailiff collected money from the debtor and disappeared with them

The metropolitan police are looking for a bailiff, who disappeared along with the debtor's money.

In Moscow, the bailiff collected the debt from the defendant, after which he disappeared with the money, ITAR-TASS reports with reference to the Investigative Committee at the Prosecutor's Office (SCP).

According to the investigation, the bailiff received 45 thousand rubles from the debtor for enforcement proceedings to pay off the debt on transport tax to the state. However, he did not pay this money to the deposit account of the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP). “With the money received, the suspect disappeared,” the UPP explained. A criminal case has been instituted against the bailiff under article 285 (abuse of authority) and 160 (assignment or embezzlement) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Currently, the issue of choosing a restraint measure is being decided. The investigation of the criminal case continues, ”the Investigative Committee said.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that reserves and enterprising bailiffs use their position for personal purposes. So, in the Komi Republic a similar crime has been disclosed, where the FSSP employee managed to assign more than 150 million rubles.

An unscrupulous official acted exactly according to the old folk wisdom of the Soviet era, sung by the satirist Mikhail Zhvanetsky: "What I guard, then I have."

As follows from the materials of the case, transferred to Vorkutinsky City Court, the senior bailiff in the city of Vorkuta Viktor Ekimov in December 2002 illegally allowed the implementation of stone coal arrested by OJSC Shakhty Vorgashorskaya and Shakhtostroymontazh LLC. At the same time, he concluded a tripartite agreement between the specified companies and the bailiffs unit in Vorkuta.

“As a result, Ekimov got the opportunity to use the money received from the sale of arrested coal,” Interfax quoted the commentary of the senior assistant to the head of the investigative department at the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Komi Svetlana Korovchenko.

In May 2005, Ekimov, with similar violations, allowed to sell the arrested coal LLC "Trading House".

From April 2003 to May 2006, the entrepreneurial bailiff, with the complicity of the main bailiff of the Republic of Komi Kirill Vanichev, illegally transferred money from the deposit account of the bailiffs for Vorkuta to the Settlement Accounts LLC Shakhtostroymontazh and LLC Trading House under the guise of returning erroneously transferred funds.

The total amount of material damage caused to the state as a result of the criminal actions of Weekov committed under the aid of Vanichev amounted to at least 168 million rubles. “Ekimov was flooding them at least 48 million rubles, enrolling the amounts of his relatives and acquaintances, having bought transport for them,” Korovchenko explained.

According to her, the former senior bailiff Viktor Ekimov was charged with abuse of authority with the causing consequences and in assignment and embezzlement using his official position on an especially large scale. Vanichev is accused of complicity of committing these crimes.
