Sredneuralsk Metallurgical Plant owes over 58 million RUR to one of the local banks, which is why the latter laid a claim against the company, demanding that care should be taken for the bank to get its money back. Sverdlovsk Region Court of Arbitration ruled that the plant’s machinery should be arrested. Therefore the local division of the Officers of Justice Service had 9,557,014 RUR worth of the plant’s property registered and arrested on February 24, 2009. This was done in compliance with the court’s order and on the basis of the Federal Laws 229 and 118 regarding the enforcement proceedings and the officers of justice policies.
