A recent operation by economic police targeted Lenavtodor, a move that was reported by the Telegram channel Mash on Moika. The intervention followed a spike in serious traffic incidents on a particular stretch of road in the Vyborg region, drawing the authorities’ attention to road safety practices and infrastructure management. Observers note that the cluster of accidents included a tragic case in 2024 in which a 12-year-old girl lost her life on that same segment. Experts examining the pattern pointed to the absence of traffic signals at the site as a likely factor contributing to the crashes. An order had previously directed Lenavtodor to install the necessary traffic control measures by July 2023, but that directive was not carried out. In the wake of these events, law enforcement teams visited the company’s office to determine who bore responsibility for the safety conditions on that road section and to assess what remedial steps had been taken or neglected.
