A resident of Sevastopol “earned” four months in prison for refusing to pay alimony debt

CrimeaPRESS reports:

A resident of Sevastopol did not pay alimony for the maintenance of his minor daughter and accumulated a debt to her totaling 370 thousand rubles.

The ex-wife filed a lawsuit against him and, according to the decision, the man was ordered to repay the alimony debt in full to the claimant. The debtor was in no hurry to do this on a voluntary basis, and as a result, the bailiff of the bailiff department in the Nakhimovsky district of the city of Sevastopol of the Main Directorate of the Federal Bailiff Service of Russia for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol initiated enforcement proceedings against him. But even then, the resident of Sevastopol was not ready to meet his former family or fulfill the legal demands of the enforcement officer.

In order to encourage a citizen to pay his alimony debt, the department’s bailiff arrested the man’s bank accounts and temporarily restricted his right to travel outside Russia. The debtor’s behavior did not change and soon the bailiff of the bailiff department in the Nakhimovsky district of Sevastopol of the Main Directorate of the Federal Bailiff Service of Russia for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol brought him to administrative responsibility for failure to pay funds for the maintenance of children or disabled parents under Part 1 of Art. 5.35.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. According to the court decision, the citizen was sentenced to 20 hours of compulsory labor.— note the press service of the GUFSSP of Russia for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

The man refused to serve his sentence, and as a result, the bailiff of the department brought the debtor to criminal liability for repeated failure to pay funds for the maintenance of children or disabled parents under Art. 157 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, transferring the case materials to the court for consideration. The court, having considered all the circumstances of this case, as well as the fact that the man was previously convicted under Part 1 of Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for threatening to kill or cause grievous bodily harm, found the debtor’s guilt proven and sentenced him to 4 months of imprisonment in a maximum security colony.
