The court refused to return the money Sobchak

The Moscow Basmanny Court refused to oblige investigators to return to the TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak the money seized from her during the search, RIA Novosti reports. Thus, judge Irina Skuridina refused to satisfy the complaint of Sobchak, who disputed the "seizure and withholding during the search for a passport and money." The hearings were held without Sobchak and the prosecutor, who asked to consider the complaint in their absence.

“The Basmanny Court ruled that the actions of the investigation are legal. They have the right to introduce to the case everything that is considered necessary,” Sobchak herself wrote on Twitter. “In general, the function of the court is to consider the claims of the parties. And the basis“ The investigator is rights because he is an investigator. ”Is that what?”

Lawyer Sobchak Henry Reznik, commenting on the court decision, said that he would appeal him to a higher instance. At the same time, he intends to “seek justice in our most democratic state,” without resorting to international justice.

“Little lawyer has no right to remove money in the apartment,” Lawyer Reznik said during a meeting on Thursday. He added that these investigative actions were not even properly justified. Investigators did not give a clear explanation on what basis the withdrawal occurred. Reznik said that "if you follow the logic of investigators, you must probably come to the conclusion that the true organizer is Sobchak, and not all the bulk."

According to another representative Sobchak Alexei Makarov, from the decision on the search, it follows that he was carried out in order to find evidence of the involvement of one of the leaders of the Solidarity of Ilya Yashin in the riots in Bolotnaya Square. The lawyer emphasized that the money "has nothing to do with these circumstances." Yashin said during the search that the money did not belong to him. Lawyers recalled that Sobchak herself is neither a suspect nor the accused in the case of Bolotnaya, nor for any other. “This seizure causes her direct property damage,” Makarov said. He made the assumption that the money is on the settlement account of the Investigative Committee and, possibly, its employees receive dividends with this money.

In turn, the representative of the investigation Konstantinov objected to the return of money.

According to him, at the address where the search was carried out, both Sobchak and Yashin lived. And all objects were seized in order to, as it should be by law, examine them in the investigator’s office. He indignantly rejected the assumptions of the calculation of dividends to investigators, inviting lawyers to file a corresponding request to the authorities if they have confirmation of their words.

“If she substantiated that these funds were received from there and from there. But she didn’t,” the investigator said. He indicated that in the framework of the investigation of the case, financing of the crime is also being clarified. Since the investigators did not receive testimonies about the source of money, they took them and do not intend to return it.

"The representative of the UK spoke briefly - the UK does not return the money because it cannot be sure that the mass riots will not be paid for them," Sobchak wrote during the meeting. “I went to the kitchen, hid the knives. And then the UK will come with a search and take it, saying that I can stab with a knife,” she continues in the next records.

The defense of Ksenia Sobchak filed a complaint with the Basmanny Court against the illegal actions of the investigation authorities on July 19. “We filed a complaint against the illegal actions of the investigation authorities to withdraw and withhold Ksenia’s money. At the same time, the court in violation of the procedure, instead of appointing a proceedings within five days from the date of appeal, appointed it on August 8. We have appealed the appointment of the court chairman because he is obliged to make sure that the cases were considered within the deadline,” lawyer Sobchak Henry Revez said.

The petition for the return of money from Sobchak seized on June 11 was sent to investigators, but the answer was not received, and the retention of funds is not motivated. “The money that was illegally removed must be returned. We will understand the full program. Perhaps we will even bring the persons who violated the law to justice. We think about it,” Reznik concluded.

On June 15, Sobchak returned a foreign passport when it was called for interrogation as a witness in the case of Bolotnaya. "Ksenia Sobchak was returned to her foreign passport. According to the law, money should be returned in the very near future," Reznik said then, leaving the Sobchak from the SKR building.

On June 11, investigators seized more than 1 million euros, 480 thousand dollars and 480 thousand rubles from a TV presenter. The TFR said on June 15 that he was actively working with the searches seized during the searches. “It is possible that over time, one of the defendants can change their procedural status and go from witnesses to the suspects,” said the official representative of the Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin.

The department also stated that Sobchak’s testimony about the sources of the origin of the funds withdrawn from it will be checked. "The presence of large sums in different currencies and the way they have caused certain questions from the investigation and may indicate their non -banking origin," Markin said. According to him, as part of the tax audit, all companies registered for Sobchak, its income declaration, as well as bank accounts will be checked. Based on the results of the audit, a procedural decision will be made.
