Overview
- The district court decision states Larisa Dolina argued buyer Polina Lurye ignored circumstances indicating the singer’s will was distorted by fraud and failed even minimal care when concluding the deal.
- Lower courts, including the Moscow City Court and the Second Cassation Court, upheld the restoration of Dolina’s title to the central Moscow apartment.
- Lurye’s lawyer says she expects the Supreme Court to recognize the sale as lawful and contends Lurye had no doubts about Dolina’s competence, citing assumptions about routine psychiatric evaluations tied to teaching work.
- Dolina announced on national television that she intends to return the full 112 million rubles paid for the purchase, after previously proposing a settlement to repay the sum over three years without specifying current timing.
- In the related criminal case, a Balashikha court handed down prison terms of four to seven years and 900,000‑ruble fines to several defendants, while Lurye paid more than 100,000 rubles in property tax during the litigation.
