I’m not going to pay the police a penny, I’m not going to collect to pay off the fine. Good luck to them in seizing non-existent real estate. And just the other day there was an appeal in this case. We were refused, which was predictable. Let’s go further to appeal,” the activist said in a conversation with Sever.Realii.
