  5. Дело Лайф-из-Гуд — Гермес — Бест Вей: свидетель обвинения объявила себя потерпевшей от следствия пк бествей последние новости 6 и 13 июня Приморский районный суд города Санкт-Петербурга рассматривающий по существу уголовное дело № 1-504/24 связываемое с компаниями Лайф-из-Гуд Гермес и кооперативом Бест Вей провел очередные шестое и седьмое по счету заседания посвященные допросу свидетелей обвинения и лиц признанных следствием потерпевшими в рамках судебного следствия по делу На заседаниях были заслушаны показания граждан как признанных потерпевшими так и свидетелей обвинения. Показания приводятся по аудиозаписи имеющейся в распоряжении редакции и стенограмме которую вела сторона защиты. Справка Предварительное расследование уголовного дела осуществлялось ГСУ ГУ МВД России по Санкт-Петербургу и Ленинградской области. На скамье подсудимых — десять граждан: Анна Высоцкая за полгода до ареста уволилась из Лайф-из-Гуд до августа 2021 года работала ивент-менеджером Лайф-из-Гуд в СИЗО более двух лет Александра Григорьева директор одного из технических юрлиц Лайф-из-Гуд в СИЗО более двух лет Михаил Измайлов предприниматель в СИЗО более двух лет Елена Соловьева главный бухгалтер ООО Эксперт в СИЗО более двух лет Альмира Гильберт неработающая в СИЗО с 2023 года Дмитрий Мазанов предприниматель в СИЗО с 2023 года Анатолий Наливан предприниматель и региональный уполномоченный кооператива в СИЗО с 2023 года Денис Шишко предприниматель в СИЗО с 2023 года Дмитрий Выдрин неработающий под домашним арестом и 83-летний отец Романа Василенко основателя компании Лайф-из-Гуд и кооператива Бест Вей Виктор Василенко пенсионер под запретом определенных действий. Начиная рассмотрение по существу Приморский районный суд продлил всем подсудимым меры пресечения на полгода что оспаривается адвокатами в вышестоящих судах. Всем подсудимым предъявлены обвинения как в мошенничестве ч. 4 ст. 159 УК РФ и создании финансовой пирамиды ч. 2 ст. 172.2 УК РФ так и в организации преступного сообщества ч. 3 ст. 210 УК РФ. Их а также гражданских ответчиков — прежде всего кооператив Бест Вей — защищают почти два десятка адвокатов. В уголовном деле 221 лицо признанное следствием потерпевшим предъявляющее претензии как к компании Гермес так и к кооперативу Бест Вей для сравнения: у компании Гермес не одна сотня тысяч клиентов в России у кооператива Бест Вей — около 20 тыс. пайщиков. Общая сумма ущерба в уголовном деле — 282 млн рублей при этом на счетах кооператива арестовано около 4 млрд рублей примерно столько же арестовано на счетах частных лиц. К кооперативу претензий не было следователь предложил подать заявление Признанный следствием потерпевший Болян подсудимых не знает. Был клиентом Гермеса а также пайщиком кооператива — но до 2019 года. В 2019-м он вышел из кооператива и из Гермеса ему были возвращены паевые взносы и никаких претензий к кооперативу у него не было — что он письменно подтвердил расторгая договоры с этими организациями. Однако как Болян отметил на суде следователь убедил его в том что он — потерпевший и должен подать заявление на возврат членских взносов. Заявление в МВД писать не хотел на него вышли сотрудники сначала претензий к кооперативу не было. Полиция ему объяснила что можно получить деньги. Стал клиентом Гермеса и пайщиком кооператива через своего консультанта Алексея Виноградова. Виноградов — грамотный маркетолог он ему верил тот не работал в кооперативе. Что было предметом договора в Гермесе не помнит. В Гермес внес 100 и 700 евро а в кооператив каждый месяц вносил по 12 тыс. в течение семи месяцев. Вышел и из кооператива и из Гермеса в 2019 году. Зачем вступал? Наверное квартиру купить хотел. Кооператив вернул ему 70 тыс. паевых взносов Гермес вернул со счета Виста 140 тыс. рублей. В кооперативе деньги вернули почти сразу удержав вступительный и членские взносы; в Гермесе вернули позже через внутрянку но удержали комиссию. Утверждает что ему говорили что можно со счета Виста вносить деньги в кооператив. Объясняли что деньги передаются в доверительное управление трейдерам и брокерам которые играют на бирже. В кооперативе как он утверждает можно было купить место в очереди. По его словам Гермес и кооператив — по сути одна организация. Требует взыскать с кооператива более 148 тыс. рублей — вступительный и членские взносы и более 60 тыс. рублей с Гермеса — комиссию при выводе средств. Договор с кооперативом не читал но ему объяснили что есть невозвратная часть денег — ее и не вернули но хочу попытаться вернуть. Претензий к кооперативу как бы и нет но если вернут взносы то будет хорошо. К Виноградову претензий не предъявлял. Может меня и не обманули в кооперативе -резюмировал свое выступление в суде Болян. Болян — яркий пример возгонки потерпевших которой занималось следствие для того чтобы нарисовать максимально большую цифру потерпевших от деятельности Гермеса — подчеркивают адвокаты. — Реального ущерба просто нет да люди по сути и не считают себя потерпевшими. 221 лицо признанное потерпевшим на фоне количества клиентов Гермеса и числа пайщиков кооператива Бест Вей не впечатляет. И как мы видим значительная часть из этого числа — ненастоящие потерпевшие а некие лица пытающиеся получить небольшие суммы на которые у них нет никаких прав. Требую выплатить с учетом роста цен на недвижимость Признанная следствием потерпевшей Комова была как клиентом Гермеса так и пайщиком кооператива. Подсудимых не знает. Требует более 8800 тыс. с кооператива и более 2700 тыс. с Гермеса. При этом из кооператива она не вышла и заявление о выходе не подавала. Сумма требований к кооперативу включает как паевые и членские взносы так и оценку роста цен на недвижимость которая не была приобретена. Утверждает что можно переводить деньги со счета Виста напрямую в кооператив — в подтверждение приводит скрины переписки с консультантами в смартфоне. Суд разъясняет что доказательство может быть приобщено позднее при надлежащем оформлении.

  9. Scores of unexploded World War II bombs discovered under children’s playground lucky jet на деньги Scores of unexploded bombs dating from World War II have been recovered from a children’s playground in northern England after a chance discovery. Local officials in the town of Wooler Northumberland called in bomb disposal experts after workers involved in a planned overhaul of Scotts Play Park found unexploded ordnance the parish council said in a statement sent to CNN on Monday. Two bombs were initially removed by the British Army the UK Ministry of Defense said in a statement. The parish council was then advised that a full survey of the area was required according to a council spokesperson. Bomb disposal company Brimstone Site Investigation then uncovered 65 10-pound practice bombs and smoke cartridges on the first day of works with a further 90 practice bombs recovered on the second day. The company told CNN that the bombs date from World War II. According to the parish council all of the bombs need to be found and removed before the park can be reopened. It said 174 devices had been found so far.

  10. Cute baby animals bring visitors to zoos and aquariums. What happens when they grow up? арбитраж трафика тимы One of the best things that can happen to a zoo or aquarium is for one of their resident animals to go viral. Just look at the multi-hour-long lines to see Moo Deng a pygmy hippo in Thailand who has become an internet sensation following her July 2024 birth. The sassy animal is now a full-on brand with Khao Kheow Open Zoo selling Moo Deng merchandise and even releasing a single “by” the hippo in multiple languages. Meanwhile Pesto — a baby king penguin who was eating more fish than his parents by the time he was a few weeks old — is also an online celebrity with human stars like Olivia Rodrigo and Katy Perry stopping by to meet him. But what happens when these cute animals become well less cute? The Sea Life Melbourne aquarium has already been planning for the next phase of Pesto’s life — and answering questions from the public about his changing appearance. It’s normal for king penguins to lose their feathers by the time they’re about a year old and become confident swimmers. As a result a spokesperson for the aquarium says guests have started asking why Pesto looks different — or why they can’t find him at all. “We are getting a few guests thinking we have moved him off display completely” says the spokesperson. “Most of the team’s time is spent pointing him out to guests because he looks so different now.” The bottom line is that cute baby animals make money. Admission tickets are only the beginning. Many zoos and aquariums offer special “behind the scenes” or “zookeeper for a day” packages at much higher prices. At Sea Life Melbourne standard entry tickets for adults start at 51 while the Penguin Passport — which include a 45-minute tour of the birds’ area and a look at how their food is prepared — is 199. The real jackpot though is merchandise. Stuffed animals T-shirts fridge magnets keychains kids’ books and other branded products are a major way for zoos and aquariums to make money.

  13. ‘You get one split second’: The story behind a viral bird photo kraken даркнет By his own admission James Crombie knew “very very little” about starlings before Covid-19 struck. An award-winning sports photographer by trade his only previous encounter with the short-tailed birds occurred when one fell into his fireplace after attempting to nest in the chimney of his home in the Irish Midlands. “I always had too much going on with sport to think about wildlife” said Crombie who has covered three Olympic Games and usually shoots rugby and the Irish game of hurling in a Zoom interview. With the pandemic bringing major events to a halt however the photographer found himself at a loose end. So when a recently bereaved friend proposed visiting a nearby lake to see flocks of starlings in flight known as murmurations Crombie brought along his camera — one that was conveniently well-suited to the job. “You get one split second” he said of the similarities between sport and nature photography. “They’re both shot at relatively high speeds and they’re both shot with equipment that can handle that.” On that first evening in late 2020 they saw around 100 starlings take to the sky before roosting at dusk. The pair returned to the lake — Lough Ennell in Ireland’s County Westmeath — over successive nights choosing different vantage points from which to view the birds. The routine became a form of therapy for his grieving friend and a source of fascination for Crombie. “It started to become a bit of an obsession” recalled the photographer who recently published a book of his starling images. “And every night that we went down we learned a little bit more. We realized where we had to be and where the starlings were going to be. It just started to snowball from there.” ‘I’ve got something special here’ Scientists do not know exactly why starlings form murmurations though they are thought to offer collective protection against predators such as falcons. The phenomenon can last from just a few seconds to 45 minutes sometimes involving tens of thousands of individual birds. In Ireland starlings’ numbers are boosted during winter as migrating flocks arrive from breeding grounds around Western Europe and Scandinavia. Crombie often saw the birds form patterns and abstract shapes their varying densities appearing like the subtle gradations of paint strokes. The photographer became convinced that with enough patience he could capture a recognizable shape.
