Voronezh notary became a defendant in the case of a cash transaction for 900 thousand rubles

Liskinsky district court of the Voronezh region received a criminal case against a private notary. He is charged with Part 1 of Article 202 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - the use of notarial powers contrary to the tasks of the profession for his own benefit, which entailed significant damage to the rights of a citizen and the interests of society and the state protected by law.

According to the investigation, a notary was approached by a citizen of Russia and an Israeli citizen who does not have the status of a resident of the Russian Federation to draw up a contract of sale. Settlements under such a transaction had to pass through bank accounts, and the draft contract, according to investigators, was first prepared taking into account this requirement.

However, then the foreigner withdrew from his account 900 thousand rubles in cash, and the seller – a citizen of the Russian Federation – received this amount for real estate. The investigation considers this transfer of money as an illegal currency operation.

Now the materials have been handed over to the judge; the issue of accepting the case for production is being decided.
