The property of the head of Golos-Povolzhye was seized

The Investigative Committee seized the property of Lyudmila Kuzmina, head of the Golos-Povolzhye Foundation, a car and an apartment. The arrest was made within the framework of the case under investigation against Kuzmina under Article 199 of the Criminal Code (tax evasion from the organization).

“It turned out that the Investigative Committee“ forgot ”to acquaint me that my property in the form of an apartment and 10-year-old Matiz, as part of the search for supposedly unpaid taxes by the public fund VOICE-Povolzhye, was arrested long ago! Tomorrow they call to sign: the machine of intimidation can dodge anyway. They do not keep the seized foreign passport at home - they transferred it to the Federal Migration Service, it turns out to be his property, and not mine. You live and you don’t know, then you are someone’s property, too, who calls himself the state ... Now, if everything has to be returned through the court, ”Kuzmina wrote on Facebook .

Recall that in 2014, a tax audit was held in Golos-Povolzhye. Officials considered the grant received before 2012 from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as income, not a donation, and demanded that the NGO pay 2,222,000 rubles.

In December 2014, the prosecutor's office conducted an unscheduled inspection at the office of the Samara "Voice" at the request of the head of the local division of the "national liberation movement". The response from the prosecutor's office stated that the organization did not receive foreign funding. Despite this, the Ministry of Justice demanded that she pay an administrative fine of 300 thousand rubles for not entering herself into the register of “foreign agents”.

In February 2015, Kuzmina's apartment was searched .
