Polonsky threatens three years of Cambodian prison

The businessman, who was arrested in Cambodia, Sergei Polonsky threatens three years in prison on charges of intentionally causing physical harm to health and illegally holding people. According to Interfax , this was stated by the head of the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Cambodia Pavel Seskanov. According to him, two other Russians, detained with Polonsky, can get the same amount.

The arrested are kept in the prison of Sihanville, the diplomat said. In their case, a local lawyer began to work, the date of the court is not yet known. According to Sysokanov, Polonsky and his comrades do not agree with the accusations, they will seek recognition of their innocence. The arrested are in prison on a common basis. “No VIP room. They do not complain about the conditions of detention,” Seskanov said.

The general grounds, apparently, suggest free access to the Internet - on Monday Polonsky left the following message on his Facebook : "I will seek a prosecutor’s investigation. I could have been released in 15 minutes if I pleaded my guilt, but I would only come out in the event of my full excuse, since the incident is not guilty."

For Russian bloggers, the arrest of Polonsky did not cause sympathy. "Polonsky is not a pity, Dova*is. It will be bought," writes DA . "If I were an influential Russian official, I would call the chief Cambodian policeman and ask him not to let Serega let him go ahead of time. If there is some specific punishment in Cambodian criminal law, like a public flogging, let them use. Let our fellow citizen sit properly. Maybe there will be a real meaning of such Christian Christian sun. Virtues as moderation and modesty, ” Werewolf0001 jointly jointly.

“About this there is a very old joke. About how two Siberian merchants came to Japan on their merchant affairs. Having sold something there, they went to wash this business to a chic restaurant. At some point, one of them, already quite heated, asks the other:“ And what do you think, Tikhon Feoktistovich, if I’m right now in that white royal? ” "Not worth it, Neil Nikodimich. I'm afraid they will not understand. Asia-S, ”the poet Leo Rubinstein comments on the situation.

Of particular popularity in Runet is the version that the arrest of a businessman in Cambodia is a clever attempt to avoid judicial persecution in Russia. “In the homeland of Polonsky, deceived equity holders are waiting for. <...> It is possible that it is so peculiarly Polonsky is trying to earn herself immunity in his homeland. Cover to cover up a Cambodian prison ...”, writes Mogorsky .

“There are sustainable rumors about the fact that going to prison is associated with Polonsky’s business problems. The creditors were tortured. So the person decided to hide - far, far away. They say, I’m sitting in prison, I repaid the primuses. In fact, he will have the opportunity to relax for several years, until the problems are resolved,” Zadumov suggests.

"Polonsky threatens 3 years in prison for a brawl in Cambodia. We are waiting for the Law named after #Polonsky, which prohibits the inhabitants of Russia to go to the hospital, for example," Rus_grud ironizes.

Polonsky before the incident in Cambodia was known for its eccentricity. In 2011, he was awarded the Russian editorial board of Forbes magazine as one of the 9 "most unusual Russian businessmen - madman, eccentric and eccentrics." So, in the fall of 2008, the businessman publicly vowed to eat his tie if the prices for expensive real estate do not increase by 25%in a year and a half. He fulfilled the promise in the spring of 2011 - ate a piece of tie on the air.

The Russians remembered Polonsky in aphorism : "Who does not have a billion, they can go to the ass." Almost two hundred thousand views earned a video on YouTube, in which Polonsky emotionally asks for the help of the assistant President Arkady Dvorkovich.

In September 2011, during the transfer of NTVshniki, Polonsky was knocked out by the banker Alexander Lebedev.

Polonsky and his friends were detained in Sianuquile on December 31. According to local media, Polonsky, as well as Karachinsky and Bagliy, were arrested on charges of violence for local sailors and illegal deprivation of liberty: on December 29, six local sailors picked up three Russians from the island of Rong, from where they intended to return to the mainland. According to the victims, Polonsky allegedly threatened the captain of the vessel with a knife, after which he locked him in the cabin. He allegedly forced some crew members to jump into the water.

Polonsky is the founder of the development company Mirax Group, later renamed Potok8. About a month ago, Group MIRAC creditors said that the businessman, in violation of his obligations, concludes assets at a multiple of low value. In November 2011, the deceived equity holders of Mirax Group demanded to put Polonsky on the international wanted list and transfer to Russia for failure to fulfill obligations on the elite LCD "Kutuzovskaya mile" - the most large long -term construction of Moscow.
