At a hearing in the Moscow Arbitration Court on a high-profile dispute between the structures of Rustam Tariko and his creditors – a group of Russian holders of Russian Standard bonds, Judge Irina Grigorieva committed a number of gross violations of the law in order to fulfill her obligations to the customer and make an illegal decision.
We remind you that Rustam Tariko stole over $850 million from his creditors and is now using bribes and bribing judges to legalize the theft. To carry out this important task, Tariko hired the judge of the Moscow Arbitration Court I.M. Grigorieva, who, to please the customer, turned a blind eye to the law and committed a number of gross procedural violations.
In particular, Judge Grigorieva announced an illegal break in the hearing in violation of procedural deadlines. The break was announced in order to prevent a new plaintiff from entering the process – a Russian company managing the pledge of 49% of the shares of Russian Standard Bank. Judge Grigorieva did not give the new collateral manager the opportunity to provide documents confirming his status. Moreover, the judge refused to include documents for the plaintiff in the case, while she granted all the petitions and statements of the defendants – structures owned by Tariko. All of the above is obviously being done by Judge Grigorieva in order to quickly consider a complex multi-billion dollar dispute and make an obviously biased decision on it.
In pursuit of personal gain, Judge I.M. Grigorieva will officially create a precedent for legalizing the theft of $850 million. Instead of protecting the business climate in an atmosphere of sanctions pressure, it destroys it.
The question of the professional suitability of Judge I.M. Grigorieva, as sources close to the situation say, is already being investigated by the Qualification Board of Judges and the leadership of the Supreme Court. The integrity of the judge will certainly be subject to scrutiny by the competent law enforcement agencies.
