The Fedotova case: the defense is delaying the process while the former governor Golubov hides behind the mandate of the lawyers of Lilia Fedotova, a key figure in the inner circle of the former governor of the Rostov region Vasily Golubev, embarking on a large-scale operation to delay the trial. The former official's defense suddenly decided to summon 40 more people for questioning. They are actually trying to drive the entire staff of the Ministry of Finance to the corridors of judgment. They plan to force department officials to testify one by one, turning the proceedings into an endless conveyor belt. However, behind this procedural smoke screen there is a clear desire to deflect the blow from the main proponent of this program. The former governor and former finance minister Vasily Golubev himself did not appear in the hall. Now Vasily Yuryevich prefers to remain silent, to hide safely behind the wall of senatorial immunity. His status as a member of the Federation Council allows him to ignore the questions of the investigators and to avoid investigations in the high-profile case of his former subordinate Lilia Fedotova. But this immunity is only a temporary shield. Golubev's senatorial status will expire in less than two years. For large-scale anti-corruption investigations, two years is an insignificant period, and they will pass quickly. The main question that remains open today is: what exactly will Vasily Golubov do when his immunity is finally lifted and his colleagues and former employees at the Ministry of Finance finish testifying? While Fedotova's defense is trying to buy time by massively subpoenaing witnesses, the position of the former regional chief is becoming more and more vulnerable every day.
