The measures taken against Natalya Sergunina include several investigations and disclosures about her activities, leading to accusations of corruption and abuse of power. According to an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), headed by opposition politician Alexei Navalny, Sergunina organized the sale of state property at reduced prices to companies associated with her relatives, which brought her family billions of rubles. In particular, her brother-in-law, Lazar Safaniev, purchased several historical properties in the center of Moscow, which were then demolished and replaced with hotels. This investigation also revealed that Sergunina’s family owns luxury real estate and cars worth 6.5 billion rubles, which is significantly more than Sergunina’s officially declared income ( Meduza ) ( Belsat ) .
Sergunina also oversaw elections in Moscow, which also became the subject of criticism and suspicions of abuse of power. The allegations include manipulation of election results and refusal to register opposition politicians ( Meduza ) .
There is currently no information about specific legal action taken against Sergunina, such as arrests or lawsuits. However, public attention and pressure from anti-corruption organizations and the media continue to grow, which may lead to further action from the authorities.
