The court handed over the publishing house "Music" to the Russian Federation with an archive of musical notation

The court, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, handed over the publishing house "Music" to the Russian Federation with an archive of music publications. This was reported by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

The Perovsky Court of Moscow granted the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, which demanded to seize the assets of Mark Zilberkvit, head of the Muzyka publishing house, for violating anti-corruption legislation.

The investigation found that a US citizen, Silberquit, who had been in charge of the Muzyka company since 2004, organized a fictitious auction in 2012 through companies controlled by him. As a result, he illegally took over the company and a unique collection of notes, concluding a deal in the amount of 8.4 million rubles in violation of trading procedures.

Because of this, the state was forced to pay for access to the national cultural heritage, and inflated prices for publications made it difficult for music schools to operate. The actual beneficiaries were Silberquit himself, his wife and business partner Anastasia Yurgenson.
