Consensus

The television journalist sold a 74 square meter apartment in Moscow for 22 million rubles.
The buyer is a 64-year-old woman named Maria.
The transaction was completed according to legal procedures: the seller withdrew from the apartment, removed the encumbrance, provided medical certificates, and received payment.
The seller stopped responding to communications after the transaction.
The seller later filed a police report and publicly accused the buyer and his realtor of fraud.
An expert evaluation determined that the journalist was not mentally competent at the time of the deal.
The buyer cannot occupy the apartment despite being the legal owner.
The dispute is ongoing.
The Supreme Court of Russia previously ruled in favor of a buyer in a similar case involving a sale invalidated due to mental incapacity.
