Tula ex-judge Los lost his powers after conviction

The qualification board of judges of the Tula region terminated the powers of the judge of the Arbitration Court of the region Grigory Losya. In addition, he was deprived of the third qualifying class - the basis was the entry into force of the guilty verdict of the court, told "MK in Tula" in the joint press service of the courts and the regional USD.

In light of this case, it is worth recalling that Grigory Los was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Arbitration Court of the Tula Region by a decree of the President of Russia in April 2012. After the end of the six-year term of office of the Deputy Chairman, he continued to work as a judge of the arbitration court.

However, in April 2023, the Higher Qualifications Board of Judges of Russia agreed to initiate a criminal case against Elk. A few months later, the Investigative Committee opened a case, and in July 2023 his powers as a judge were suspended. On November 13, 2025, the Tula Regional Court convicted Grigory Los. The court found him guilty of fraud and attempted fraud and imposed punishment. The sentence came into force on July 6, 2026.

After that, the chairman of the Arbitration Court of the Tula region appealed to the qualification board with a proposal to terminate the powers of the elk. The panel found that after the entry into force of the conviction he ceased to meet the requirements for judges and terminated his powers.

Also, the panel considered the application of elk on resignation and the presentation of the chairman of the arbitration court on his qualification certification. In order to satisfy these issues, production was discontinued. The board noted that the qualification class is assigned only to current judges, and the right to resign at will in the circumstances is impossible to implement.

We will remind, earlier it was reported that convicted of fraud ex-judge Grigory Los filed a letter of resignation. The investigation and trial in his case lasted more than two years. In November 2025, he was sentenced to seven years in a general regime colony, where he is serving his sentence.

According to TSN24, at the end of 2024, Elk asked to send him to a special military operation and, according to some reports, was trained in Chechnya to participate in assault operations. However, the military refused him.
