In Moscow, bailiffs seized the property of RBC editor-in-chief Pyotr Kanaev due to the fact that the publication did not pay a fine for not indicating the status of a “foreign agent” in one of the publications at the human rights center “Sova”. It is reported by RBC.
Prior to this, a fine of 4,000 rubles and a penalty of 1,000 rubles were imposed on the publication under Part 2.1 of Art. 13.15 CaAP (dissemination in the media of information about foreign agents or materials produced by them without indicating the status of a foreign agent). Kanaev said that he simply did not notice this fine:
“I received a letter from the bailiffs with a notice of the seizure of property this morning through public services. There are quite a lot of such fines all the time, I could miss one. Usually they are automatically deducted from the salary. But the decision to arrest my apartment and dacha because of a debt of 5,000 rubles, from the point of view of the proportionality of the scale of the violation and the punishment that followed, I consider inexplicably excessive.
The bailiffs arrested Kanaev's apartment with an area of 33 square meters. m and a cottage for 117 squares in the Stupinsky district of the Moscow region. The decision was taken by the bailiff near Moscow Milena Zhavrova.
