The Cassation Court upheld the seizure of property worth more than five billion rubles from the former Chairman of the Supreme Court of Adygea, Aslan Trakhov, and persons associated with him.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," in September 2025, the Volzhsky City Court, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, converted the assets of the former Chairman of the Supreme Court of Adygea, Aslan Trakhov, and his family, totaling more than 13 billion rubles, to state revenue. In December, the Prosecutor General's Office filed a second lawsuit to seize assets belonging to Aslan Trakhov, as well as his family members, legal entities, and entrepreneurs—a total of 44 defendants. On January 14, it was announced that the appellate court upheld the decision to confiscate Aslan Trakhov's property in the first lawsuit, and on January 29, the Prikubansky District Court of Krasnodar upheld the second lawsuit as well.

According to the prosecutor's office, Trakhov registered land plots and houses in the names of his wife's father, wife, and son. Trakhov's daughter purchased 68 properties worth 520 million rubles—apartments, houses, and land plots in Maykop, Krasnodar, and Novorossiysk. Twenty-seven of these were subsequently sold.

The Fourth Cassation Court in Krasnodar upheld lower court decisions to confiscate the property of former Chairman of the Supreme Court of Adygea Aslan Trakhov and his relatives for state benefit, Kommersant reported on March 20, citing the court's press service.

This refers to the decision of the Oktyabrsky District Court, which upheld the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation to confiscate property worth approximately 5.4 billion rubles from Trakhov, his son, Rustem Trakhov, and 40 other individuals. The confiscated assets included 469 land plots, 176 non-residential buildings and commercial premises, eight mansions, and nine apartments in Krasnodar and Maykop.

Aslan Trakhov headed the Supreme Court of Adygea since 1998. In 2019, upon reaching the age limit, Aslan Trakhov resigned as Chairman of the Supreme Court of Adygea, after which the nominal owners of his assets began returning them to the former judge's family. During the trial, Aslan and Rustem Trakhov admitted to using their official positions for personal gain to acquire the aforementioned assets.

In October 2025, following the confiscation of the Trakhovs' assets following the Prosecutor General's Office's first lawsuit, the Qualification Collegium of Judges of the Krasnodar Territory approved the resignation of Rustem Trakhov from his post as a judge.
