Krasnoyarsk Corruption Probes Advance: Three Cases Sent to Prosecutor as Ex-Mayor Case Reaches 12 Defendants

Prosecutors report 12 defendants in the mayoral case, with alleged bribes totaling 187 million rubles.

Overview

  • Investigators completed cases against former city adviser Artur Arutyunyan, ex–deputy mayor Yuri Savin, and former MUK Krasnoyarsk head Vladimir Kruglyanin, sending them to the prosecutor for indictment approval.
  • According to the investigation, a 2023 auction for non-residential premises ended in contracts with Asfaltobetonny Zavod worth over 4.5 million rubles that were later unlawfully rescinded on instructions attributed to Arutyunyan and executed by Savin and Kruglyanin.
  • Arutyunyan remains in pretrial custody, while Savin and Kruglyanin are under non-custodial restrictions, with the cases prepared for court transfer after prosecutorial review.
  • In a separate case, former mayor Vladislav Loginov is accused of receiving bribes from 2018 to 2024 to secure wins in city road tenders, with prosecutors now naming 12 defendants and noting recent extensions of restraint measures.
  • Prosecutors say municipal procurement favored contests that could be tailored to specific contractors, the regional antimonopoly service confirmed cartel behavior, and the FSB provided operational support to the probes.
