Bailiffs order a pizza from a debtor
In Lesosibirsk, in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, bailiffs lured a debtor to the department by ordering a pizza from him. On Tuesday the 11th December, this was written on the official website of the regional headquarters of the federal bailiffs service.
According to information from the press office of the Headquarters of the Federal Bailiffs Service [UFSSP] for the region, the resident of Lesosibirsk owed 100,000 roubles, which he had to pay as child support. The bailiffs were informed about the fact that he had not paid alimony by the man’s former wife.
Because of this, he was called to the office where he was told that he had to pay otherwise he risked being found guilty under article 157 of the criminal codex of the Russian Federation, “Deliberate evasion of child support payments”. All the same, the man refused to pay his debt, and completely stopped communicating with the bailiffs.
The employees of the Krasnoyarsk [UFSSP], however, did not stop trying to collect the debt, and obtained his details from the tax office. According to the information they received, the Lesosibirsk inhabitant was the owner of a small pizzeria that took delivery orders. They also found that the owner of the cafe delivered the pizzas to customers himself.
Therefore, the bailiffs decided to order a pizza from the debtor, and made an order to the department’s address. When the pizzeria owner arrived with the order, they informed him, that as he had been told, a criminal investigation had begun against him. The man risks being sent to prison for up to a year. His reaction to this news is not reported.

They tricked him. In a civilised country, he’d be able to sue the cops for that.

Hm… and if you go digging into high profile cases in the USA where special services operatives go undercover as arms dealers, drug addicts, terrorism – is that not “tricking” them?
Тихэ: (also responding to Corroborator)
What exactly was the trick here, sorry?
Corroborator: (responding to above)
Well, they lured the guy in. He might be a goat for not paying his alimony, but he still has rights, doesn’t he?
Tel: (responding to above)
Of course he does, but which rights have they violated?
Тихэ: (responding to above)
What did they do that was illegal? What does “lured” mean??? They ordered a pizza. At the same time, they informed him that there was a case against him. They didn’t detain him, didn’t arrest him (even though that wouldn’t have been a violation of his rights if it had been done in line with procedural law)
There’s absolutely no violation here. The rights of this goat that are so dear to your heart have not been violated at all. *)))
Or do you believe naively that if you run from the bailiffs so that you don’t get any notification of a case, then you’ll be able to smooth it all out with bribes??? *)))

Erm…
This is all true, but to hang the label of “goat” onto someone without knowing all of the story is a sign of a hasty mind, or categorical thinking…

Lazy, these state employees. They could have just gone to his pizzeria to let him know. But no, that’s not what nobles do, let him come himself.

Stupid criminal codex article, now his children can’t be civil servants because they’re the relatives of a convict…
We wonder if he’s a close friend of this businessman?
