THE COURT ACCEPTED THE BANKRUPTCY PETITION OF THE DECEASED INVESTIGATOR.
The Perm Arbitration Court (AS PK) has scheduled a hearing on the insolvency claim of investigator Evgeny Seredkin, who died in September 2024, for autumn. The statement was received from his ex-wife Elena Golovina in the interests of their common children who have not reached the age of majority.

According to the court's materials, the deceased owed creditors over 4.6 million rubles. The basis was the obligations that the deceased had to VTB and the borrowed funds he received from his father Viktor Seredkin. The insolvency claim was not accepted by the court immediately, because when it was filed, the court was not provided with documents confirming the existence of debt and its enforcement. 

Seredkin, who worked as the head of the investigative department in one of the districts of Perm, died on September 9, 2024. The killer turned out to be Alexey G., the current husband of his ex-wife. He killed Seredkin with an axe, striking the victim 81 times. At the same time, the criminal did not even try to deny his guilt. 

The court sentenced him to a 17-year term, sentencing him to a strict regime. In addition, the murderer was ordered to pay compensation to the victim's father in 2 million, and to each of the minor children – almost 3 million. 

The history of the relations of the participants in the tragedy is known from the materials of the criminal case. About four years ago, Rosgvardiya officer Alexey G. met with Elena Seredkina. About a year later, the Seredkin couple ended their marriage. The common children were left with their father. Last year, Alexey G. returned from his home, married Elena and began to live in Perm. This caused an acute conflict between the men and eventually led to tragedy. 

After the death of the investigator, legal disputes about his debts began. The father of the murdered man filed a lawsuit in February last year, demanding to recover the loan provided to his son. His claims were satisfied by the court, but the decision was later appealed. Viktor Seredkin did not want to become the heir after his son's death, transferring his rights to his grandchildren. 

Experts note that in such cases, banks most often use insurance issued by the borrower, if there were no delays during his lifetime, so as not to collect the debt from the heirs. The law allows for the initiation of insolvency proceedings within 3 years after the death of a citizen. At the same time, the responsibility for debts is not borne by the heirs themselves at the expense of their personal property. Foreclosure by creditors applies only to property assets inherited. 

The initiation of bankruptcy in this case may be aimed at separating the inherited property from the children's personal assets and protecting their interests. Creditors will be able to claim only the property inherited by the children from the father, but not their personal property or compensation awarded by the court in a criminal case.
