The court ordered the collector Logvinenko pay off the debt taken by Rubens

MOSCOW, March 24. Lefortovo district court ordered the city to collect the debt with the payment of a penalty to the collector Vladimir Logvinenko, who took almost 5 years ago, the Russian businessman Anatoly Loktionova 5 million euros to build a business on search, appraisal, restoration and subsequent sale of works of art. "The court ordered to pay Logvinenko Anatolia Loktionova 1.2 million euros, recognizing the right of our client," - told journalists after meeting the lawyer businessman Maxim Platonov.

Logvinenko and Loktionov, introduced in 2007, the last partner of the company "Naftatrans" Buhantsov Nicholas, who now heads the government of St. Petersburg to Moscow. According to Platonov Buhantsov subsequently refused to participate in an organized Logvinenko money Loktionova Arts Foundation.

The first deal was to be a sale of paintings by Rubens, "Tarquin and Lucretia," by Vladimir Logvinenko bought for $ 3.5 million, but experts estimate it to amount to $ 100 million, but the government stepped in Germany, where the painting was smuggled out at the end of World War II . Logvinenko against German law enforcement authorities initiated a criminal case under article "purchase and sale of property obtained by crime knowingly," painting by Rubens became a separate theme at that time held in the talks between Vladimir Putin and Gerhard Schroeder.

As it became known during the previous trial, after the failure of the "Tarquins and Lucretia" said Loktionov, Logvinenko, he spent his money taken for the purchase of "this collection of Faberge eggs." In this case the collector assured the businessman that bought a $ 100 million in New York businessman Viktor Vekselberg, the collection of Faberge is a fake and real rarities - from him. However, in the words of a businessman questioned Logvinenko and turned to the experts, who found that just presented a collector of "Faberge eggs" are in fact not authentic.

After 3 years from the date of transfer of money, in 2010, due to the fact that the limitation period ended on the treatment to the court to recover the money Logvinenko, Loktionov proposed collector or modify the terms of the transaction or return the money in the manner prescribed by law. Logvinenko asked for postponement, the contract was made about the "grace period" to pay the debt already dismal interest over time. The Collector shall, within six months to repay the debt of 5 million euros, while Loktionov - do not require payment of a penalty for those 6 months.

However, after six months the money was not paid, and then Loktionov went to court with a claim for refund of duty and paid the penalty for years of use Logvinenko his money. The collector has filed a countersuit - a recognition agreement "grace period", which he suggested that instead of the court Loktionov, null and void - and asked the court to cancel the penalty charge, the amount which by then was already about two million euros. The capital's courts refused to meet the collector's requirements.

In Lefortovo court, according to the lawyer Maxim Platonov, the protection of the collector was behaving "very strange". "They say that they could still get the money back Loktionov, because I do not know where to list them, though IBAN (International Bank Account Number), international bank number, Logvinenko was sent long ago. But the lawyer, the collector said that they had his phone number, "- said Platonov. He said the statements about the protection of the collector that they can not communicate with Loktionov, because they do not know where it is not true, as he Logvinenko was visiting Loktionov and knows his address and contact information.

"The Court granted the petition in part, by reducing the amount of compensation claimed over the claim, which certainly will be the subject of the appeal court decision to a higher authority. Nevertheless, he recognized the validity of claims Loktionova Anatolia as a whole. And it gives us reason to apply to law enforcement authorities with a request to give a legal assessment of the actions of Vladimir Logvinenko, from the point of view is of the Criminal Code, because, in our opinion, it is likely that the actions of Logvinenko fall under the concept of fraud. However, we will ask witnesses to draw (both Russian and foreign) involved from the beginning to the creation of a fund, the opening of companies abroad, "- told reporters Platonov.
