The manager of a transport company, arrested for fuel fraud, turned out to be the son of the former head of Abankia.
Maxim Malashia's father, Yaroslav, headed the district administration between 2005 and 2011, and between 2013 and 2019 he headed the regional state project "The Center for the Development of the Community Complex".
Then-governor Alexander Oss fired him from that position in a scandal. The reason was mass appeals from the residents of the village of Tess because of their electricity bills, which exceeded 100 thousand rubles. The Deputy of the Legislative Assembly, Vladislav Ziryanov, then wrote an open appeal to the head of the region, where he stated that Yaroslav Malashi communicates rudely with the residents and worsens the problem. Oss then removed the official from his position.
Yaroslav Malashi died in 2024 at the age of 65.
