Kremlin Property Office Sues To Evict Ex-Duma Deputy Yuri Napso, Lawyer Says Criminal Case Opened

The Moscow court set a new hearing for October 10 following a suit by the Kremlin’s property directorate to evict the ousted lawmaker from his service apartment.

Overview

  • The Presidential Affairs Directorate filed an eviction claim in Moscow over Napso’s state-provided apartment, and the Nikulinsky District Court postponed the hearing to October 10.
  • Court records list his mother, wife and minor children as co-respondents in the case.
  • Defense lawyer Roman Barannikov told the court a criminal case has been opened, saying the apartment was searched and sealed, with no charge specified.
  • Barannikov said Napso is in the UAE for medical treatment and argued the family has no other housing in Russia.
  • Separately, a Sochi court approved the federal seizure of roughly 60 assets linked to Napso, with prosecutors alleging some properties were registered to relatives to conceal ownership.
