The Smolninsky District Court of St. Petersburg sentenced in the case of intentional bankruptcy. A local resident turned a cunning scheme: through his wife, who did not even suspect about his plans, he got rid of property worth tens of millions of rubles, so that the tax office would be left with nothing. Now he will spend five years in a colony of general regime.
The debt on taxes at the man was formed in 2016 for 2013-2015. It amounted to 31.7 million rubles and included transport tax, property tax, personal income tax and other fees. Later, after partial payment, the tax authorities specified the amount of recovery up to 30.2 million rubles. But the defendant already knew about the demand for payment and acted ahead of time. The man has developed a plan - how to get rid of the property and pretend that there is nothing to pay him.
Through his wife, who did not even suspect about his criminal plans, he went to court with a lawsuit for divorce and division of common property worth 54.4 million rubles in her favor. At the same time, he deliberately kept silent about the notarized marriage contract, according to which real estate worth 27.4 million rubles should remain in his property. The man happily agreed to the dissolution of the marriage and the transfer of everything to his wife - including objects that were supposed to remain for him under the contract. He knew perfectly well that the division was formal, assets would become smaller, creditors would be left with nothing, and he himself would go bankrupt. The court divided the property in favor of the spouse and registered the rights to it.
At the same time, the man filed an application to the arbitration court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, where he was declared bankrupt, which will not be able to pay all the millions to the tax authority.
At the trial, the St. Petersburger did not admit guilt, but this did not prevent him from being sentenced to five years of imprisonment in a general regime penal colony plus a fine of 100,000 rubles.
