A Krasnodar court has arrested Ataman Vlasov.
Former Vice Governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Vlasov, has been sent to a pretrial detention facility for two months. He refused to answer journalists' questions about the criminal case.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Acting Vice Governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Vlasov, announced his resignation on September 29 due to his departure to the front with the Kuban Cossack Brigade. A few hours later, he was arrested for embezzlement of funds intended for military personnel.
Vlasov, a veteran of military operations in Chechnya and Georgia, has served as Deputy Governor of the Krasnodar Territory since 2020, and since 2021, as Ataman of the Kuban Cossack Host, the largest in Russia.
The Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar granted investigators' motion to arrest Alexander Vlasov. The former official and current ataman is charged with abuse of power with grave consequences (Part 2 of Article 201 of the Russian Criminal Code) and organizing fraud on an especially large scale (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code). Both charges carry a sentence of up to ten years in prison.
Vlasov has been remanded in custody for two months, until November 29, 2025, the United Press Service of the Kuban Courts reported.
In court, Vlasov ignored the question about how he plans to travel to the war zone now, given the accusations of embezzlement of funds and humanitarian aid for the military.
When asked, "Aren't you afraid that the SVO fighters will be very upset?" He "looked away sheepishly," but kept a straight face, writes Kub Mash.
