The Plaintiff sought an order finding the L'vova Defendants (Aida L'vova and Yuri Kulinich) in contempt for breaching various court orders, including a Mareva injunction, an order for accounting, and an order to pay $700,000 into court.
The court found both Aida and Yuri in contempt, concluding they knowingly and deliberately acted to hide funds and defy court orders.
Aida directed the transfer of $700,000 to her son, who then transferred it to Yuri, who claimed to have used it for gambling debts.
The court imposed an initial 2-day detention, followed by an 88-day intermittent (weekend) incarceration if the $700,000 is not paid into court by mid-September 2018, emphasizing deterrence, denunciation, and coercion.
