The Supreme Arbitration Court was without a car Thursday after an unknown thief made off with its luxury sedan overnight.
A 43-year-old court driver parked the Nissan Teana on Wednesday evening near 9 Sevastopolsky Prospekt in southern Moscow, Interfax reported, citing the police. But when he returned for it in the morning, he found it missing.
He alerted the police about the theft.
The car was insured for 1.5 million rubles (about $47,000), Interfax said. Moscow retail prices for the model start at about 1 million rubles.
A criminal case has been opened in connection to the theft.
The Supreme Arbitration Court is the main arbitrator for commercial disputes in Russia.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
