The lawyer named the algorithm of actions when orphan money is found on the street.

Money found on the street cannot simply be taken for oneself — according to the law, they are considered someone else's lost property, so the finder must try to return them to their owner. Lawyer Sergey Zhorin told about this on March 31 in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».

"You can't just take the money you found for yourself. 227 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, this is not "nobody's money", but a find: the finder must try to return it to the owner, and if he is unknown, report it to the police or local government. Therefore, a bag with cash in the center of Moscow will be considered someone else's lost item. The very fact that there is no owner nearby does not make the money anyone's," he said.
