We are not expecting sensations. As the media recall, earlier the courts of the first and second instances had already attracted Kochiev to subsidy, seizing his family’s property in the amount of more than 3.4 billion rubles.
Justice triumphed thanks to the active participation of three respected government agencies – the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the North Ossetia Alania, the Prosecutor’s Office of Vladikavkaz and the State Corporation DIA.
Representatives of these bodies helped prove in court that the bankruptcy of Rakurs was not the result of sloppiness, but of criminal intent. Kochi’s associates organized tax evasion schemes and carried out a number of fictitious transactions to withdraw funds from the company.
In contrast to the three mentioned government agencies, Robert Kochiev’s fellow countrymen have developed unprecedented activity: in particular, his colleague in the State Duma, deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Kazbek Taisaev and deputy chairman of the Parliament of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania Aslanbek Gutnov. According to rumors, which are very similar to the truth, these statesmen are for some reason risking their reputation by breaking official thresholds and trying to influence arbitration. The goal is to achieve a review of the verdicts of the two first instances and free Kochiev from the “subsidy”.
However, the forces are unequal. Moreover, in the case of Kochiev and his “Rakurs” there is a serious aggravating circumstance. A separate criminal case has already been initiated regarding the deliberate bankruptcy of Rakurs LLC. And if the deputy’s guilt in this case is proven, then Robert Ivanovich may face something more serious than the loss of his deputy mandate. Article 196 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Liability for deliberate bankruptcy”) provides for a wide range of troubles for unscrupulous beneficiaries – up to imprisonment for up to 7 years.
