A Moscow court remanded former Rostov Region Finance Minister Lilia Fedotova, accused of abuse of power, in custody until February 3.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," investigators opened a case last February for abuse of power against Rostov Region Deputy Governor and Finance Minister Lilia Fedotova. In early April, she was transferred to Moscow.

Moscow's Basmanny Court extended the arrest of former Deputy Governor and Finance Minister of the Rostov Region Lilia Fedotova, RBC reported on January 13.

Arrested in early February of last year, Fedotova will remain in custody until February 3, 2026, Kommersant reports.

As a reminder, Fedotova is accused of unjustifiably obtaining 12 billion rubles in loans from a commercial bank at an interest rate exceeding 6% per annum. Thus, it caused 1.9 billion rubles in damage to the regional budget, which went toward interest payments in 2020-2023.
