Bailiffs accused the head of the Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights of a debt of 820 thousand rubles

The bailiffs opened a criminal case against the head of the Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights Mikhail Anshakov on the illegal use of seized property (under article 312 of the Criminal Code). This was reported on October 5 by TASS with reference to the Moscow department of the Federal Bailiff Service. According to the agency, the case was initiated in connection with the removal of previously arrested office equipment.

The arrest was earlier imposed on 15 units of office equipment belonging to the City Bureau of Commodity Expertise LLC, the director of which is Anshakov. Later, during the check, the bailiffs did not find three pieces of equipment. Anshakov was required to pay a debt of more than 820,000 rubles and was banned from traveling abroad, the agency reports.

On October 1, police officers detained Anshakov at the railway station and took him to the Khamovniki police station, explaining that he was wanted. According to Anshakov , the police department found out that he was wanted in a case under the first part of Article 312, initiated four years ago. The amount of damage on it is not 800, but 1.5 thousand, says Anshakov.

“4 years ago, the bailiffs described part of the property belonging to an expert organization cooperating with the OZPP, on the basis of a court decision in absentia to recover 50 thousand rubles from it at the suit of an individual. faces,” the human rights activist said. - This property was stored in one of the offices of the OZPP on B. Vlasevsky Lane and was given to me personally as an official for safekeeping. Three years later, the bailiffs remembered the described property and arrived at another office of the OZPP to do a reconciliation, where they did not find 3 items: a power supply unit manufactured in 2001 (estimated cost 500 rubles), a safe and a monitor manufactured in 1999 (with an estimated cost also 500 rubles each). An estimate of 500 rubles was affixed to the inventory, taken from the ceiling. On the basis of that act, despite the offer to reimburse 1,500 rubles, they, as it has now become clear, decided to initiate a criminal case in absentia and put me on the wanted list, which I was only told today at the Khamovniki police station, where they were taken in handcuffs, removed from the train. The very formal reason for declaring a federal wanted list looks anecdotal, not even so much because of the amount of damage, but because the statute of limitations under Part 1 of Art. 312 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is 2 years old and was released a long time ago.

On October 5, Anshakov was summoned to the inquiry department of the Khamovniki branch of the Bailiff Service.

In May 2013, Anshakov was fined 100,000 rubles on charges of libel in connection with a Novaya Gazeta article about a “business center” in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. In June 2015, Anshakov's blog was blocked at the request of Roskomnadzor in connection with the publication of a memo from the Consumer Rights Protection Society for tourists urging them not to visit Crimea.
