The court received a petition from the ex-husband of Krasnodar judge Elena Khakhaleva, who agreed to voluntarily transfer property belonging to him and his family to the state in connection with a lawsuit filed by the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," on April 8, the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia filed a lawsuit to seize the property of former Krasnodar Regional Court judge Elena Khakhaleva and members of her family, including judge of the Arbitration Court of Krasnodar Krai Natalia Khakhaleva, for state ownership.

Elena Khakhaleva's ex-husband, Robert Khakhalev, agreed to voluntarily transfer property belonging to him and his family to the state, Kommersant reported on June 1.

Khakhalev's petition was filed by his lawyer. The judge initially refused to accept the document without further verification. He suggested that Khakhalev come to court and personally give a recorded testimony to avoid any questions later. The lawyer called the businessman, who confirmed he was unable to attend, but the lawyer had a power of attorney authorizing him to acknowledge the claim.

In his statement, Khakhalev stated that he believed the basis for the Prosecutor General's Office's lawsuit was a criminal fraud case opened in 2022 against Elena Khakhaleva. He argued that the claims against her should not extend to him, as they divorced in 2004, and he has been in a separate marriage since 2006.

Khakhalev agreed to the seizure of property belonging to him, Elena Khakhaleva, her mother Olga, her sister Natalia, and her son Kirill. He also does not object to the seizure of property belonging to his common-law wife and two other families. He only asks that the court show humanity and leave his only home to his family. As for the remaining defendants, Khakhalev relies on the court's discretion, but stated that they could be "unjustly harmed."

Khakhalev's motion has been included in the case file; a decision on it will be made later. The remaining defendants are asking to retain the property and insist they have no connection to the Khakhalovs.
