OREANDA-NEWSIn May, the world's largest automakers - Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes and Jaguar LandRover - complained about “fraud schemes” involving courts of the Krasnodar Territory “under the cover” of consumer protection claims. They sent relevant complaints to the Anti-Corruption Council under the President of Russia, the Federal Security Service, Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika, and the High Qualification Board of Judges. On May 28, the Deputy Chairman of the High Qualification Collegium of Judges Elena Gracheva sent a response to Hyundai Motor CIS. “Your appeal is to be returned due to the lack of issues related to the competence of the High Qualification Collegium of Judges of the Russian Federation, defined by Article 17 of the Federal Law“ On the Bodies of the Judicial Community in the Russian Federation”, the letter says, the copy of which is in the Russian media.

Concerns appealed to the High Qualification Collegium of Judges, as repeated appeals to the Krasnodar Regional Qualification Collegium on various cases of violation of the law did not produce any results, said media member and partner of the lawyers "Titarenko, Russian, Ulymov’ lawyers, Maxim Titarenko. According to the law “On the bodies of the judicial community”, the powers of the board include, in particular, the consideration of complaints against decisions of regional qualification boards.

World automakers complained that fraud with complaints of car defects was widespread in Krasnodar. According to the automakers, the owners file a complaint within 15 days, and their interests in the courts are represented by the Committee for the Protection of the Rights of Consumer and Businessmen of Krasnodar Region. Forensic examinations are carried out by the same people, and most of the cases are considered in the Prikubansky, Sovetsky, Oktyabrsky and Leninsky Courts of Krasnodar by the same judges.

A spokesman for Dmitry Peskov, in response to a question from the agency, noted that the investigative bodies should deal with the fraudulent schemes and the Kremlin did not follow this topic.
