The Fourth Cassation Court of General Jurisdiction considered a civil case on the claim of Nadezhda Tsapok’s successor against Svetlana Martynova regarding foreclosure on an agricultural land plot in the village of Razdolnoye. The total area of the plot is 125.72 hectares.
The man claimed his rights to recover the debt through the sale of the plot. The plot had been seized as part of a criminal case on fraud and transferred to benefit the victims and the state.
In 2018, the Rostov Regional Court found Martynova and her relative Kolesnik guilty of large-scale fraud. It was established that Martynova and Kolesnik received over 40 million rubles from the owners of the Pokrovsky concern for transferring rights to the former lands of the Tsapok family. They did not fulfill their promises. The verdict became the basis for foreclosure on the seized property to repay the debt to the victims and the state. The debt amount exceeded 165 million rubles.
The Kushchevsky District Court and the Krasnodar Regional Court considered the civil case on the claim of Tsapok’s successor. He claimed his rights to recover the debt by foreclosing on the disputed land plot. The man’s demands were satisfied. The courts considered that since Martynova officially has no other property to enforce the court decision, the law allows foreclosure on lands formally belonging to another person but actually to her.
The cassation court disagreed with these decisions. The fate of the disputed land plot had previously been determined within the criminal case. The civil claim of two victims against Kolesnik was satisfied. The damage was recovered from him through the sale of property, including land registered to a family member. Expanding the circle of recipients of profits from the sold property is unlawful.
The appellate ruling was canceled and the case was sent for review to the Krasnodar Regional Court.
The Kushchevsky District Court sentenced Nadezhda Tsapok to 6.5 years of imprisonment. The Krasnodar Regional Court upheld the appeal of the state prosecutor. It deprived Nadezhda Tsapok of three agricultural land plots with a total area of over 770 hectares.
In August 2015, Tsapok faced charges in another criminal case. According to the investigation, she and her accomplices fraudulently appropriated 187 hectares of land in the Kushchevskoye rural settlement using forged documents. The state prosecution demanded to sentence the defendant to 7.5 years in a penal colony and a fine of 500 thousand rubles. The court granted the requirements.
