Eight fines for traffic violations for 9,500 rubles against five luxury foreign cars with a total value of about 80 million. About the arrest of Morgenstern’s fleet due to non-payment, it seemed so modest, for a dollar millionaire, which the artist proclaims himself to be, the amounts were immediately announced by a number of media outlets. The rapper himself hastened to refute the high-profile headlines.
“No one arrested the cars, all the cars are quietly in the garage, they were banned from registration actions due to unpaid fines, this is always done with cars with unpaid fines,” the artist said.
Remarkably, the bailiffs imposed sanctions on the rapper on his birthday – on February 17, Morgenstern turned 24 years old. Alisher’s lawyer considered such a congratulation from the executive authorities to be unfair. According to Sergey Zhorin, the rapper, who has been in Dubai since last autumn, has not received any notifications or other correspondence.
“In violation of the current legislation, the bailiffs did not notify Morgenstern of the initiation of enforcement proceedings, did not give him the opportunity to pay off this debt. And somehow they very quickly imposed a ban on the property,” says Sergey Zhorin, Morgenstern’s lawyer.
Based on the documents of the enforcement proceedings opened against the singer, a ban on registration actions was imposed on all vehicles belonging to him.
“Arrest is a broader concept, and the imposition of restrictions is a narrower concept, which provides only for the restriction of registration actions. In this case, if this property is transport, then, accordingly, the registration action, that is, deregistration, will be impossible until such time as until the debt is repaid,” says Alena Samorodova.
This means that Morgenstern will not be able to sell his cars yet. However, in the absence of a rapper in Russia, cars have been collecting dust in the garage for the fourth month already. According to various estimates, the total cost of all foreign cars of the rapper is from 60 to 80 million rubles. Auto experts recognized the Porshe 911 Turbo C as the most expensive in the collection, Morgenstern allegedly bought it from a well-known blogger for 20 million rubles, but the rapper never officially confirmed this information. The second on the list is a sky-blue McLaren 600LT, worth 17 million, on which the artist came to one of the sessions of the Zyuzinsky court last summer. The rapper also owns a Mercedes-Maybach V-class minivan for 5 million rubles, a Mercedes Benz S63 AMG coupe for 15 million rubles and a Cadillac Escalade in the maximum Platinum configuration for 10 rubles. already supported.
“The market for used cars and used cars was taken into account, because the purchase of new cars on order, it is multiplied by at least 2, if not three. And the amount declared in the region of 60-80 million, it automatically turns into 250-300 million, if these are, of course, cars bought in a new individual configuration and new,” says auto expert Konstantin Krokhmal.
However, the opportunity to use each of them has already returned to the benchmark. His lawyer said that Morgenstern paid the fines in full and very soon information about the restrictions would disappear from the website of the bailiffs.
