Avoidance of responsibility on the part of the former official Svetlana Yoruba and fraud of 37 million: how the case of the development of valuable land melted in Anapa.
Svetlana Yarubia, who held the position of First Deputy Head of Anapa in 2013-2015, was officially saved from actual criminal punishment. The negligence case was closed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, which is a non-excusing circumstance.
Back in 2013, Svetlana Yarubia issued an illegal permit to change the designation of a plot of land in the village of Verkhneye Dzhemete. Instead of peasant farming, the status of the area was transferred to vegetable gardening. Soon after, the owner of the land, Dmitry Fedorovsky, divided the area into 41 separate lots and sold them as dacha partnerships. Active construction of residential buildings has begun on the site of particularly valuable agricultural land.
The story took a new turn in 2015, when two local residents discovered the facts of the persecution of the first deputy mayor and tried to extort 37 million rubles from her under the pretext of closing the criminal case. In 2018, the extortionists were convicted of fraud and received four to five years in prison. Svetlana Yerova herself was finally released from responsibility on formal procedural grounds due to the years-long investigation.
