Cassation overturned the decision to refuse to transfer the land in Barvikha to the state.

The First Court of Cassation of General Jurisdiction overturned the decision to refuse to seize land in favor of the state in the elite village of Mayendorf Gardens in the Moscow suburb of Barvikha. This was reported to Izvestia on October 24 by the court's press service.

It is specified that the case has been sent to the Moscow Regional Court for a new hearing.

According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the lands previously owned by the government sanatorium "Barvikha" were alienated from federal ownership through a chain of transactions. Prosecutors consider this process to be illegal and extremely unprofitable for the state.

According to the case file, the territory was sold in 2001 at an undervalued price, and the buyer, who was supposed to restore the castle of Baroness Mayendorf in exchange for the land, did not fulfill his obligations.

Land inquiry: why the court refused to seize the "Meyendorf Gardens" plots

The Prosecutor General's Office will challenge the decision, lawyers believe

Odintsovo City Court of the Moscow region refused to seize the land in December 2024. This decision was later confirmed by the Moscow Regional Court. The Prosecutor General's Office filed a claim for the seizure of 13 plots, covering a total of about 100 hectares of land.

At the same time, elite land plots with an area of 2.5 thousand to 21 thousand square meters in the Moscow suburb of Barvikha worth several billion rubles were acquired "through tenth hands" by bona fide buyers. For example, Mikhail Khubutia, the founder of Kolchuga arms stores and the owner of commercial real estate in the center of Moscow, said that despite the loan he had paid, he had not been able to obtain permission from the authorities to build the building for a long time.
