“Employees of the Administration for Economic Security and Combating the Corruption of the Russian MIA General Administration for the Chelyabinsk Region together with colleagues from the regional FSB Administration established that the malefactors had forged arbitration decisions on foreclosure on several real estate units in Kopeysk. Later, based on those fictitious decisions, they had registered the title to more than 40 publicly owned real estate units in Kopeysk and to other real estate units in Chelyabinsk, the Chelyabinsk and Orenburg Regions,” said Russian MIA official representative Irina Volk.

Employees of the Investigation Unit of the General Investigation Administration of the Russian MIA General Administration for the Chelyabinsk Region initiated a criminal case on that fact based on essential elements of a crime stipulated by Part 4 Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

In the course of the preliminary investigation, the police established the involvement of the six perpetrators who had acted within a criminal community in 12 frauds. The damage had exceeded 100 million rubles.

By the moment, the Investigation Unit of the General Investigation Administration of the Russian MIA General Administration for the Chelyabinsk Region has accomplished the proceedings on the criminal case against one of the gang members – a resident of Chelyabinsk born in 1987 – accused of the crimes stipulated by Part 4 Article 159 and Part 2 Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and has sent the case to the Kopeysk Municipal Court of the Chelyabinsk Region for consideration on the merits.

The court imposed restraint in the form of pre-trial detention on the accused man.
