For several years, traffic police in the Stavropol Territory have issued hundreds of cars under the same compulsory motor insurance policies, according to information from the Baza Telegram channel. About 80 individuals are suspected of involvement in fraud related to these practices, triggering an ongoing investigation by law enforcement authorities.
Over the past month, internal security teams within the Ministry of Internal Affairs have conducted comprehensive checks of the vehicle registration and roadworthiness inspection divisions within Stavropol Territory. Officials indicate that since 2020, staff from various departments routinely accepted identical OSAGO policies from vehicle owners and prepared the necessary paperwork to license those cars, yet they were compelled to issue refusals in some cases. This pattern points to a coordinated effort that extended across multiple units and locations.
In total, more than 600 violations were identified within the registration and inspection divisions of the traffic police, with 82 employees under suspicion. Among those named are Lieutenant Colonel Vlas Chernovolenko, deputy head of a regional division, along with additional supervisory personnel and investigators. The scope of the investigations reaches several districts and cities, including Stavropol, Pyatigorsk, Essentuki, Budyonnovsk, Nevinnomyssk, Georgievsk, Mikhailovsk, and the Soviet urban district, underscoring a broad internal review.

The report indicates that following these mass inspections, the traffic police officers may face criminal cases under a negligence provision. It remains unclear what consequences the owners of vehicles licensed through the illegally arranged documents will face as the case unfolds, and whether any administrative measures will be imposed on recipients of the policies involved in the scheme.
