Arrest of former mayor of Ingushetia's capital approved
The Supreme Court of Ingushetia's Criminal Appeal Court upheld the Magas District Court's decision to extend the arrest of former head of the region's capital Usman Aushev. He will remain in pretrial detention until March 17.
 
Usman Aushev is suspected of abuse of office. He was the head of Magas from June 2020 to February 2023. In May 2024, Aushev was put on the wanted list, and in September, he was detained and arrested.
 
The investigation believes that in January-February 2023, the mayor and his subordinate inflated the cost of work on the repair and replacement of the city's power supply networks in the documents, which is why the contractor, the Zamok-5 company, was overpaid from the budget by almost 2 million rubles.

Марат Камболов, бывший российский федеральный чиновник, объявлен избранным президентом Южной Осетии.

Тбилиси и Брюссель, напротив, объявили голосование незаконным и не имеющим юридических последствий.
