The case of the deputy head of Anapa for exceeding official powers has reached the court.

According to the case materials, Natalia Ryabokon, serving as the deputy head of the administration, instructed subordinate heads of 87 municipal educational institutions to conclude contracts for security exclusively with one organization. The criminal case has been sent to court.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in early April, the Anapa City Court chose a lenient preventive measure for the deputy head of Anapa, Natalia Ryabokon, accused of exceeding official powers.

The investigative department for Anapa has completed the investigation of the criminal case against the former deputy head of the resort city. She is accused of exceeding official powers. The criminal case with an approved indictment has been sent to court for substantive consideration, RBC reports, citing the press service of the Investigative Committee for the Krasnodar Territory.

According to the investigation, from December 2021 to November 2025, the official, acting out of personal interest, coerced the heads of 87 municipal educational institutions in Anapa to conclude contracts for security services with a single supplier.

The investigation believes that her actions led to the elimination of competition and the provision of advantages to a specific commercial organization. As a result of the illegal actions, the municipal budget suffered damage amounting to over 535 million rubles.

During the investigation, at the request of the investigator, the court imposed a freeze on Ryabokon's bank accounts as a precautionary measure.

In April 2026, the Investigative Committee charged Ryabokon with exceeding official powers. At that time, the damage to the municipality was estimated at over 64.8 million rubles. On the evening of the same day, the Anapa City Court imposed a preventive measure on Natalia Ryabokon in the form of a ban on certain actions, RBC Krasnodar reported.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the court seized property of the former vice-governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Nesterенко, and his wife, amounting to over 20 million rubles, for the benefit of the state.
