Overview
- Russia’s Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Polina Lurye’s complaint on December 16 after lower courts voided the sale and restored Larisa Dolina’s ownership.
- Dolina said on national television she intends to return 112 million rubles to the buyer, with a prior settlement idea described as installment payments over three years.
- Ombudsman Tatiana Moskalkova said she will monitor the case and expressed sympathy for the purchaser as lawmakers discuss measures such as a real‑estate “cooling‑off” period.
- A court ruling text states Lurye failed to show even minimal due diligence during the deal, a conclusion her lawyer disputes while saying the buyer saw no reason to doubt the seller’s capacity.
- In the related fraud case, four people were sentenced in late November and one defendant has now appealed, with total losses estimated at no less than 317 million rubles.
