Policeman Lies in Ambush for 17 Years

A court in St. Petersburg dismissed the claim of a former policeman to ownership of an apartment based on the usucapion (adverse possession) statute. The court was apparently skeptical of the open character of the possession in light of the former policeman's assertion that he "lay in ambush" in the apartment for 17 years.
