Star of the TV project "Dom-2" Maria Kokhno and her buddy Vladimir Sharapov landed in the center of a scandal with criminal overtones. Professor, Doctor of Law, internet and law expert Anton Sergo talking to a correspondent FAN I suggested, what could be the consequences for the defendants in this unpleasant story.
There is information on the web about, that Sharapov for several years fraudulently acquired an impressive capital in the amount of 20 million rubles. He made money in a rather simple way., a man started a profitable business, which allegedly allowed its participants to increase their savings.
In its turn, Kokhno actively advertised Sharapov's "Internet office", though, according to her, and didn't know, that people are being deceived. The result of Sharapov's work was a collective complaint to the Ministry of Internal Affairs from victims of his machinations..
Expert Anton Sergo considers, what if law enforcement authorities establish the fact of fraud, then the participant in the fraud will have to answer for his deeds, Besides, the situation may become more complicated due to another serious factor.
"That, that another participant was involved in this, in this case, it will be worse for both of them. Because in terms of law enforcement, it can be qualified, like a scam, committed by a group of people. This already leads to significant punishment., as long as I remember, to 10 years. But if it is proven, says the lawyer.
According to the expert, even if the girl was advertising this project, "She was a commercial performer, quite possibly, that law enforcement agencies will still consider the incident, as committed by a group of persons". Besides, Anton Sergo believes, that it is unlikely that fraudsters will be able to avoid punishment.
"As such punishment to avoid, if incidents are proven, not succeed. Even, if the organizer himself tries to somehow make amends to the victims, repents, this can only affect the assessment of his actions by law enforcement agencies. This may result in a reduced sentence., will give the prospect of parole and more. I doubt, that this will allow him to completely avoid criminal liability", Sergo says.
When, if fraud is confirmed, then the participation of Maria Kokhno in this "enterprise" will only aggravate the situation of both. If a man acted alone, the scenario could have unfolded differently.
"Purely theoretical, he would make amends to the victims, and everyone massively tried to settle issues with law enforcement agencies, taking your statements. Only with such, almost fantastic scenario, one could talk about the possibility of avoiding criminal punishment. Anyway, draw some serious conclusions, not knowing all the subtleties, not worth it. But the situation is quite tense.”, expert suggested.
The case of fraud among the participants of "House-2" is not the first. Former TV star Anastasia Dashko I've been in a similar story before..
