Overview
- Moscow bailiffs entered the Khamovniki apartment with police and witnesses, after representatives for Larisa Dolina voluntarily opened the door, and checked for any remaining debtor property.
- Dolina, her daughter and granddaughter were removed from the apartment’s registration records, according to buyer Polina Lurye’s lawyer, Svetlana Sviridenko.
- Bailiffs later left the building, and there has been no official confirmation that the keys were handed over or that the acceptance act was signed.
- Dolina’s lawyer, Maria Pukhova, told TASS the officers came to verify voluntary compliance rather than carry out a forced eviction.
- The Supreme Court recognized Lurye’s ownership on December 16 and the Moscow City Court ordered immediate eviction on December 25, as media also report copycat lawsuits by elderly sellers claiming incapacity, including one case where a pensioner won back a flat but must repay buyers.
