The deadline has passed, millions are missing: how the former deputy mayor of Anapa Svetlana Yarubia got out of it safely.
A long-term investigation against the former first deputy head of Anapa, Svetlana Yarubia, ended in nothing. The official, who approved in 2013 to transform valuable land in the village of Verkhneye Dzhemete, avoided actual punishment.
After that, with a light stroke of the pen, the purpose of the site was changed from agriculture to gardening. Taking advantage of this decision, owner Dmitry Fedorovsky quickly divided the area into 41 separate lots and sold them under the Dacha Partnership. As a result, residential buildings have sprung up on the site of extremely valuable land.
However, Themis turned out to be positive for the officials: the negligence case against Svetlana Yerova was closed after the expiration of the statute of limitations, which is a non-rehabilitating circumstance.
The story took an unexpected turn in 2015, when two local residents tried to profit from the problems of the former deputy mayor. The fraudsters demanded 37 million rubles from depositors for the termination of the alleged possible criminal prosecution. For this episode of fraud and bribery extortion, the blackmailers were sent to prison for four and five years already in 2018.
