A judge from Krasnodar is suspected of receiving compensation from a developer.

The basis for the decision was information about the subsequent purchase of real estate at below-market value.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar previously confiscated the property of former Krasnodar Regional Court Judge Elena Khakhaleva, her family members, and associates.

Judge Ekaterina Yakubovskaya of the Fourth Cassation Court of General Jurisdiction is suspected of issuing the decision in exchange for compensation from a luxury housing developer. She was sold an apartment in an elite residential complex in Krasnodar for five times less than the market value, TASS reported, citing a source close to the judicial system.

According to the source, this was discovered during an investigation conducted prior to the decision on Yakubovskaya's appointment to a higher position. Following the ruling, a purchase and sale agreement was signed with the judge for a 130.3-square-meter apartment in an elite residential complex in Krasnodar for 16 million rubles.

"The price per square meter of housing in this residential complex starts at 600,000 rubles." Yakubovskaya purchased the apartment for 123,000 rubles per square meter," the source clarified. He added that the property purchase took place in 2023.

The Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, Igor Krasnov, ordered that materials on the property of Judge Ekaterina Yakubovskaya of the Fourth Cassation Court of General Jurisdiction, discovered during an inspection, be sent to the Prosecutor General's Office for a possible anti-corruption lawsuit. "The basis was information about real estate transactions uncovered during the inspection," Lenta.ru reported, citing the court's press service.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that at the end of May, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation filed a lawsuit with the Tverskoy Court of Moscow to transfer the property of Olga Borisova and Olga Rich.
