Adygea property dispute escalates as judge's son refuses to vacate seized estate
A legal dispute over seized property in Adygea has taken a new turn. The son of the region’s former Supreme Court chief has refused to leave real estate that was forfeited by the state. The case has now been moved to a different court for a fresh review. The conflict began after Russian authorities confiscated assets belonging to the family of the ex-chief justice of Adygea’s Supreme Court. A previous ruling had confirmed the legality of the forfeiture. Despite this, the judge’s son continued occupying the property, prompting further legal action.
Russia’s Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosiмущество) responded by filing a lawsuit. The agency demanded payment for the unauthorised use of the property and insisted on its immediate vacating.
The Fourth Court of Cassation of General Jurisdiction has now intervened. It ordered the case files to be transferred from the Maykop District Court to the Volzhsky City Court in Volgograd Oblast. The move aims to ensure an impartial review of the dispute. The transfer of the case marks another step in the long-running legal battle. The Volzhsky City Court will now examine whether the property should be vacated and if compensation is owed. The outcome will determine the next phase of enforcement for the seized assets.
