The case against the former mayor of the capital of Ingushetia has reached the court

The criminal case against the former mayor of Magas, Usman Aushev, has been sent to the Magas District Court. He is charged under two articles - abuse of office and fraud.

According to investigators, in January-February 2023, Aushev approved inflated estimates when concluding a contract for the repair and replacement of power supply networks in the capital of Ingushetia. The damage caused to the city budget was estimated at 3.3 million rubles. Soon after, Aushev resigned of his own free will and left the republic. In September 2024, he was detained in Chechnya. Until March 2025, he was in a pre-trial detention center, then transferred to house arrest.

In September 2022, Aushev was brought to administrative responsibility for violating the contract system in the field of procurement. He was fined 400 thousand rubles.
