The court extended the pretrial detention of former Rostov city manager Alexei Logvinenko, who is accused of abuse of power.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Alexei Logvinenko was detained on October 24 and then arrested on suspicion of abuse of power (Article 286 of the Russian Criminal Code). The defense appealed the arrest, but the Rostov Regional Court upheld the arrest decision.

Investigators believe that Logvinenko, who served as the head of the Rostov-on-Don administration from October 2019 to January 2025, took out a commercial bank loan in violation of budget legislation, which resulted in 47 million rubles in damage to the city budget.

A court in Rostov-on-Don extended the arrest of former city manager Alexey Logvinenko, the joint press service of the regional courts reported today.

"Alexey Logvinenko's pretrial detention was extended for three months. "The arrest has been extended until March 23, 2026, inclusive," 161.ru quotes the department's statement.

As a reminder, sources previously reported that Alexey Logvinenko had become a suspect in a second criminal case – for bribery. According to them, Logvinenko is suspected of receiving 13 million rubles from a representative of a group of commercial organizations in 2019. Investigators believe other city hall employees were involved in the bribe transfer from the businessman.

Alexey Logvinenko resigned in January. He explained that he was leaving due to health reasons and a new job.
