In the Novopokrovsky district of Krasnodar Territory a 31-year-old local resident is preparing to face court following a reported dispute with her ex-husband that ended with arson of his vehicle. The information was released by the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in its official statements.

The ministry reported that investigators have established the defendant set fire to the front passenger seat of a VAZ-21070 car owned by a man, triggering the blaze during a heated argument with his former spouse. The incident occurred while the man was reportedly intoxicated. After the act, the woman fled the scene and disappeared, according to the police briefing published by the regional department.

The authorities described the car as impossible to extinguish once the fire began, and responders found the vehicle completely burned. Images released by the department show interior materials and the ceiling warped by extreme heat, underscoring the severity of the damage. The incident resulted in property damage estimated at 200 thousand rubles, and the suspect now faces criminal charges for intentional property damage. The case is being handled under the relevant articles of the Russian criminal code, with potential imprisonment up to five years should the court find the defendant guilty as charged. The ministry noted that the investigation continues and additional details may be released as they become available through official channels.

In a separate note from neighboring law enforcement, a separate case from the Tula region was cited to illustrate how similar situations have previously unfolded under Russian traffic and property damage laws. That prior case involved a driver who left the scene after colliding with her husband, resulting in penalties that highlighted the legal consequences of such actions. These references help provide context for the ongoing proceedings and emphasize the seriousness with which authorities treat unlawful acts that endanger people and property, especially within domestic conflict scenarios.
