The prosecution suffered a fiasco in the Istra City Court of the Moscow Region. As the Cheka-OGPU learned, instead of the requested five years in prison, the court imposed a fine of 70 thousand rubles on the son of billionaire and restaurateur Zurab Alekseevich Lysov, who died in February 2021, Zurab Zurabovich Lysov. He was accused of theft on an especially large scale (Part 4 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), but his actions were reclassified as arbitrariness (Article 330 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

It all started with the fact that in July 2021, the Investigative Department of the Police for the Odintsovo District of the Moscow Region, at the request of Zurab Lysov Jr., opened a criminal case in connection with the theft of his father’s 45-year-old cohabitant, Ekaterina Belova, of elite watches and things from a house in Barvikha. The deceased left the house to his daughter, Diana Lysova. However, for some reason Belova did not become accused (she inherited all the deceased’s money, which is more than 300 million rubles in his Russian accounts alone).

But in response, she accused the children of the deceased of stealing money belonging to her in the amount of 4.2 million rubles, which at the time of opening the inheritance lay in accounts bequeathed in her favor. The children-heirs did not know about the contents of the will and the gift agreement and, with a clear conscience, spent money from their father’s accounts on his funeral. Belova took advantage of this ignorance, from whose message Lysov Jr. was charged with theft of money on an especially large scale.

But that was just the beginning. Then, the investigator of the investigative department of the Department of Internal Affairs for the city of Istra, Ekaterina Ovchinnikova, in secret from Lysov Jr. and his lawyer, ordered post-mortem psychological and psychiatric examinations in the case of the theft of money initiated by Belova. They concerned the health status of Lysov Sr. at the time of signing the donation agreement and will, which had nothing to do with the theft. As part of the criminal case, Belova’s representative, a former magistrate judge of court district No. 405 of the Mozhaisk district of Moscow and an employee of the Moscow City Court, Lidiya Nefedycheva, together with the investigator, interrogated the attending physician of the deceased in the Botkin hospital. “Through such defiant violations, investigator Ovchinnikova helped Belova and her lawyer Nefedycheva collect evidence in order to defend a dubiously received inheritance in a completely different civil case, in which the children of the testator Zurab Alekseevich Lysov tried to invalidate the gift agreement and will. They were signed by a dying billionaire in extremely difficult condition in the interests of Belova under dubious circumstances,” emphasized Lysov Jr.’s lawyer Alexei Gorbachev.
