The Moscow Arbitration Court has set the tone for the ongoing legal struggle between Yelena Baturina, former head of the development company Inteko, and the state property agency concerning land on the west side of the city, Vedomosti reported.
The court decided that the large plots, at the intersection of Minskaya Ulitsa and Starovolynskaya Ulitsa, were illegally inserted into the official cadastral plan, according to the legal information service Rapsi.
In June, the court ordered that Baturina hand over 16.4 hectares of the disputed land, which is known as Setunskai. The new court decision raises the question of ownership of the remaining 8 hectares.
The entire property was purchased in 2003 by a company controlled by Baturina, and it was put on the cadastral plan. However, in 1993, part of the plot was designated for diplomatic missions by then-President Boris Yeltsin.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
