Polonsky, who saw a clown in the judge, extended the arrest

The former head of Mirax Group, Sergei Polonsky, accused of embezzlement of 2.6 billion rubles from equity holders of the construction of residential quarters "Kutuzovskaya Milya" and "Rublevskaya Riviera" in Moscow, removed from a meeting in the Moscow City Court on October 17, where the issue of extending his arrest was considered.

Judge Sergey Gruzdev made such a decision after Polonsky called him the “clown” and “shame of Russian justice”, and also bought with the minister of Themis, to whom he declared the challenge, RIA Novosti reports.

Gruzdev made Polonsky several comments, and then asked the convoy to withdraw the accused from the courtroom before the decision is announced. “I was not going to participate in this circus,” Polonsky retorted.

As a result, the judge did not see the grounds for his withdrawal and extended the term of the arrest of Polonsky until November 10.

On August 14, Polonsky’s lawyer Slavik Brssoyan informed the Moscow City News Agency that the investigation tightened his accusation to his client and two other defendants in this case by retraining their actions with fraud on a particularly large amount of fraud committed by an organized group.

In early August, by decision of the Presnensky court of Moscow, a criminal case against Polonsky was returned to the prosecutor's office for weighting the prosecution. At the same time, the same court extended the arrest of Polonsky until October 21.

Meanwhile, the defenders previously disseminated the information that most of the deceived equity holders have already concluded world agreements with Polonsky, within the framework of which they will receive their paid apartments. However, the head of the deceived investors, Sergei Labutiev, said that these steps of Polonsky would not affect the court decision, but he personally believes that "the verdict may be conditional."

The defendants in the case of fraud, committed, according to investigators, from 2008 to 2009, are also members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation Alexei Adikaev, Dmitry Lutsenko and Maxim Temnikov. According to the investigation, they disappeared abroad, were arrested in absentia and put on an international wanted list.

Polonsky was arrested in Cambodia in May 2015 and deported to Moscow, where he was placed in the Sailor Silence pre -trial detention center. Polonsky tried to prove that his actions should be qualified under Art. 200.3 ("attracting funds of citizens in violation of the requirements of the legislation on participation in shared construction of real estate") the Criminal Code. In case of success, this made it possible to stop investigation due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. But the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused the re -qualification of the prosecution.

On June 1, it became known that Polonsky played a wedding in a pre -trial detention center.
