Alexander Chernov

Russian authorities have confiscated $144 million in assets from Alexander Chernov, the former chairman of the Krasnodar regional court, in what prosecutors describe as one of the country’s biggest anti-corruption cases.

Власти России изъяли активы бывшего главы Краснодарского краевого суда Александра Чернова на сумму 144 миллиона долларов в рамках дела, которое прокуратура назвала одним из крупнейших антикоррупционных дел в стране.

Amid a wave of arrests in southern Russia — including the Rostov region, Stavropol Territory, and Krasnodar Krai — where high-ranking officials are being transported to Moscow in the notorious "black Maria," a reasonable question emerges: why does the notorious Krasnodar developer Nikolai Shikhidi remain untouched despite his long criminal history?
