The head of the Kuban district was arrested in connection with the cemetery monopoly case. A court in the Krasnodar region sent the head of the Slavansky region's administration, Roman Siniagovsky, to a pre-trial detention center until December 31 on charges of accepting bribes in the amount of at least 26 million rubles. According to the investigators, from January 2018 to March 2026, the official received money through intermediaries from the director of a private funeral company for organizing an illegal decision that should have granted the company a monopoly right to burial in the cemetery. At the same time, the company's activities were consolidated under the guise of improvement contracts. Siniagovski is accused of attempted crime, abuse of power and accepting bribes on a particularly large scale. In choosing preventive measures, the court noted that Siniagovski has been the head of the municipality for over 10 years and enjoys authority among the administrative employees. Many of them can be witnesses in this criminal case. According to the court, the official is able to hide or destroy evidence as well as put pressure on witnesses and other participants in the procedure. According to media reports, Roman Siniagovsky is the nephew of former head of Novorossiysk Vladimir Siniagovsky.
