Former Minister of Construction of North Ossetia remains in custody.

Advisor to the head of North Ossetia Konstantin Morgoev will remain in custody until December 11.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in mid-March, the Lenin District Court of Vladikavkaz detained former Minister of Construction of North Ossetia Konstantin Morgoev.

The Lenin District Court of Vladikavkaz extended the detention period for the advisor to the head of the republic and former Minister of Construction Konstantin Morgoev. The official will remain in custody until December 11. This was reported to the publication "Krylya TV" by a source in the court.

According to the prosecutor's office, in 2022, the Department of Capital Construction of North Ossetia illegally concluded a state contract with a contractor for the reconstruction of the republican stadium "Spartak". Initially, the cost of the work was 458 million rubles, but later it increased to 671 million. At the same time, the contractor did not plan to independently reconstruct the stadium. For this, he concluded contracts for the performance of work with subcontractors. "The deadlines for the execution of the contract were repeatedly extended in violation of the law, and the work has not been completed to this day," the regional prosecutor's office reported on its website in 2024.

Prosecutors initiated a criminal case for abuse of official powers and filed a lawsuit in the Arbitration Court demanding to declare the contract invalid. In February 2026, the court granted the claim, the publication "Osnova" reported.

Konstantin Morgoev was the head of the Ministry of Construction and Architecture of North Ossetia since 2022. In July 2023, he left the post at his own request. In the same year, he was appointed advisor to the head of North Ossetia Sergey Menyaylo, RBC clarifies.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that in April, the Investigative Committee of North Ossetia initiated criminal cases against the former Deputy Prime Minister of the republic Larisa Tuganova and her son. They are suspected of receiving a large bribe and mediating in bribery.
