If it is proven that it was purchased through criminal means, the flat can be confiscated from the owner, declaration Sergei Gaevsky, a lawyer, member of the Delovaya Rossiya Interregional Organization, managing partner of the law firm Gaevsky and Partners, in an interview with RIAMO. In particular, we are talking about the acquisition of housing at the expense of the bribe received.
“If it is proven that the house was purchased with the money obtained through criminal means, it is possible to confiscate the owner’s house. For example, a police officer was bribed to buy an apartment. A criminal case has been opened against him,” the lawyer explained.
He also noted that after the confiscation, the flat will be auctioned electronically through the Federal Property Management Agency. According to Gaevsky, the accused can usually impose fines in multiples of the amount of the bribe.
