The mayor of the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk was arrested on suspicion of accepting a bribe, law enforcement authorities and Russian media reported on Monday.

Vladislav Loginov, a member of the ruling United Russia party, has served as mayor since 2022. Local news outlet NGS24 reported that searches were conducted at his home and City Hall, while police sources told the TASS news agency that Loginov was being transferred to Moscow for a pre-trial hearing to determine his detention status.

Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said Loginov is suspected of having received more than 180 million rubles ($2.3 million) in bribes from the CEO of a private company between 2018 and 2024 while serving as first vice mayor and then later as mayor.

“The bribes came in the form of cash and payment for the construction of a private bathhouse on land owned by Loginov,” Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said. “In exchange, he allegedly ensured the company would win contracts from the Krasnoyarsk municipal agency for road repair, infrastructure and urban development.”
