the Moscow city court upheld the decision of Ostankinsky district court of Moscow about the destruction of copies of the newspaper “Vedomosti”, at the suit of head of “Rosneft” Igor Sechin. The three judges of the court of appeals Board on Friday dismissed all complaints of the publication of the JSC “Business news Media” and the author of the article.

Now, by court decision, the publication shall, within five days to remove the article from the site and destroy the remaining copies. “We will request the court of first instance clarification on how to destroy the copies” — commented the decision the lawyer of the edition Vladimir Rumyantsev.

Over the past few months Sechin also filed lawsuits to several media, including the newspaper RBC, which requires 3.1 billion rubles.

the Decision of the Ostankino court of Moscow has issued on September 16, having satisfied the claim about protection of honor and dignity of the head of “Rosneft” to the newspaper “Vedomosti”. The court found that the publication about the construction of the house Sechin in Barvikha village had violated the rights of plaintiff and agreed to remove the article from the official website of the publication, and to destroy all paper copies of the newspaper.

the lawsuit was the article, published June 20 in the Vedomosti newspaper and on the newspaper’s website under the headings “Sechin makes a nest in Barvikha” and “Vedomosti found the house of Igor Sechin, in Barvikha”. In it journalists were told about the construction of the house Sechin in the elite Barvikha village in Moscow on a plot of 3 hectares.

In court Friday, November 18, the lawyer of the edition insisted that no invasion of privacy Sechin did not happen. Journalists used open information and data of state bodies — an extract from Rosreestr. “Journalists do not climb the fence, do not fly over the area and did not violate its borders,” — said Rumyantsev.

the author of the article Rinat sagiyev, as in the court of first instance insisted that such data are of great importance to society — such as land, 22 hectares of forest belonging to sanatorium “Barvikha”, moved from state ownership to private. “Society has a right to know, how many earns and spends top management of the largest state companies”, — said Sagdiyev.

representatives of the edition insisted that the court of first instance refused to bring in as a third party journalist Alexander Prokopenko, who participated in the preparation of the material. She insisted that this case directly affects her rights, but she was not given the opportunity to defend them in court.

“We oppose the cancellation of the decision”, — stated in the court representatives of the claimant. As in the court of first instance, they insisted that journalists uncovered information that constitutes privacy Sechin — published personal information about his family relationships with his ex-wife information about children and financial situation. “The defendants are trying to pass off a matter of public interest the income of the claimant as a civil servant. But the plaintiff was a civil servant,” was made by the representative. In their opinion, cannot be used in the publications of information from Rosreestr and other public authorities, if this does not meet legitimate public interests.

“statements” comply with the decision of the court, said the chief editor Tatyana Lysova. “We have five days to remove the notes from the site. On further action report in the near future” — are the words on the newspaper’s website. Vladimir Rumyantsev announced that the newspaper will ask the court of first instance an explanation of how the revision should carry out the decision on the destruction of circulation.
