How to avoid murder charges? Especially for the Chairman of the Moscow City Court Mikhail Ptitsyn. Accused of giving bribes worth $2 million, Israeli citizen, owner of the BKF bank and the Russian Product company, Olga Mirimskaya, got burned trying to order her ex-husband, ex-YUKOS top Alexey Golubovich and his lawyer Vadim Bagaturia in the spring of 2022, when she appealed to the four-time convicted Sergei Sokolov – his acquaintance from the dashing 90s

Mirimskaya’s lawyers, Yulia Zhuravleva and Alexander Chernov, who acted as intermediaries in negotiations with Sokolov, first said too much, and when they sensed danger, they decided to fabricate a case against Sokolov, portraying him as a fraudster and removing suspicions of planning murders from themselves and their client.

The scheme was that the negotiators began to extract promises from Sokolov to reach a settlement with the leadership of the FSB to release Mirimskaya from the pre-trial detention center and terminate her criminal case. Sokolov did not succumb to these provocations, did not promise anything and avoided contact with the provocateurs, going home to Siberia. But Chernov, under the pretext of lucrative loans from BKF, lured Sokolov to a meeting in Moscow, and he was detained by operatives. Last week, the Presnensky court gave Sokolov 5 years, refusing to conduct a phonoscopy on the main evidence, which was fabricated by Zhuravleva and Chernov.

But there is another important nuance in this story: according to the Plenum of the Supreme Court, a person who realizes that he is being deceived or his trust is being abused cannot be a victim of fraud. And in the recordings of conversations with Sokolov, Zhuravleva and Chernov are discussing the fact that Sokolov is a swindler and there is no trust in his stories that he will help rescue Mirimskaya from the pre-trial detention center using his connections in the FSB, because he has no connections in the Lubyanka . Thus, there was no deception on Sokolov’s part. However, the Presnensky court for some reason refused to delve into the basics of criminal law, apparently acting from other motives.

By the way, Mirimskaya was charged with two bribes worth $1 million specifically to the Presnensky court… And, if, in addition, you look at the statistics of her victories there, then any sane person will have a natural question about whether Mirimskaya has real corruption ties with the employees of this “temple of justice” .
