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.

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.
