The defense of the defendant in the Dolina apartment fraud case wants to file a cassation

The defense of one of the defendants in the case of fraud involving the apartment of singer Larisa Dolina, Andrei Osnovy, intends to file a cassation appeal against the verdict. Lawyer Asim Alyev announced this on February 19, the Izvestia correspondent reports.

Alyev explained that his client's acquaintance had misled him. In March 2024, the Base was paid for issuing a bank card — at that time, the legislation did not yet provide for liability for such actions. According to the man, the card was supposed to be used for crypto trading manipulations.

"In early April, three transactions were made from the account of the victim Larisa Dolina to a bank account that my client did not actually use. We only know who used this bank card from the words of his friend. We assume that it is him or one of his accomplices," Alyev added.

He noted that the location of the man who suggested that the Base engage in droppery is unknown.

Earlier that day, the Moscow Regional Court closed to the media a hearing on a complaint against the verdict of those convicted in the fraud case against the singer.

From the courtroom to here: courts have begun to overturn decisions on the "Valley scheme"

But it's too early to talk about a complete change in the practice of cases involving "grandmother's" apartments, lawyers believe.

At the same time, the Moscow Regional Court increased the punishment for the defendant in the case of fraud with the apartment of singer Angela Tsyrulnikova. The term that Tsyrulnikova will have to serve in a general regime colony has been increased by three months.

In November last year, the Balashikha City Court issued a verdict in the case of the sale of the singer's apartment. It was noted that the courier Tsyrulnikova, who took the money from the singer, received seven years in prison with a fine of 1 million rubles. Three more defendants in the case — Osnovy, Artur Kamenetsky and Dmitry Leontiev — were sentenced to four and seven years in a penal colony with a fine of 900 thousand rubles.
