Nadezhda Muftieva

Advocate — economic and financial crime

Bar registration No. 03/2627

Focus

Unpicks the commercial logic of a case and finds where the prosecution has read ordinary business decisions as criminal intent.

Nadezhda defends fraud, misappropriation and tax cases — the category where a failed contract, an unpaid debt or a restructuring is recast as a crime. The decisive question in these cases is almost always intent at the moment of the transaction, and it is answered from documents: contracts, bank movements, accounting records, correspondence with the counterparty.

That is where she works. Reconstructing what a company actually did, in what order, and why the obligation failed, is slow and unglamorous, and it is what separates a criminal conviction from a civil claim.
