Stavropol Property Valuations Change After Civil Case Review
News follower reports that a civil case involving the former Stavropol traffic police chief, Alexei Safonov, led to notable shifts in property values. One luxury mansion featuring a gold toilet saw its price reduced by 900 thousand rubles, landing at 30 million rubles after the examination by authorities. A separate house also saw a price drop, from 3.4 million to 2.8 million rubles, while new findings revealed residential and non-residential properties in Stavropol valued up to 7 million rubles. Meanwhile, several other properties increased in value.
The prosecutor highlighted that after the review, the price of a residential building in the village of Novomaryevskaya rose. The examiner noted that the value of the home belonging to the former wife of Safonov grew from 9 to 49 million rubles, and the market value of her own residence increased from 100 thousand rubles to 1.1 million rubles, according to the authorities.
In July this year, the court resumed proceedings after the prosecution examined the civil case against Safonov and members of his family. The aim is to confiscate property allegedly acquired through illegal funds. The list comprises 20 items, including a mansion, apartments, and cars registered to relatives and associates of Safonov, currently held in a pre-trial detention facility.
The case surrounding the luxurious residence drew wider attention to the misconduct allegations against Stavropol officials. An interior design professional who commented on the home described the style as ill coordinated and showy. The mansion is noted for features such as a throne, a golden toilet, marble stairs, carved doors, and other luxury elements, as depicted in official law enforcement photographs.
