Russia proposes to introduce temporary blocking of funds from real estate sales
In Russia, it is proposed to block funds from the sale of an apartment or house for seven days to check the validity of a real estate transaction. As "Izvestia" found out, a letter with such a proposal to amend the legislation was sent to the head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina by Svetlana Razvorotneva, deputy chairman of the Committee on Construction and Housing and Utilities from the United Russia faction.
In the document, which was read by "Izvestia", she says that over the past two years, fraudsters have become active in the real estate market deception scheme, which is called "seller under the influence".
As explained by the deputy, the essence is that the attackers on the phone persuade the owner of real estate allegedly to participate in some operation to help the FSB or other law enforcement agencies. To do this, the citizen is offered to sell his apartment, and the money after that to transfer to these "employees" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB and other agencies. At the same time, the fraudsters assure that the sale is a fake and after the transaction the ownership will be restored.
However, according to the deputy, in the end, citizens are deprived of housing and the money received for it.
