Deputy of the Vladimir city Council may lose the mandate

Roman Musikhin, deputy of the Vladimir City Council, is being checked after the presentation of the prosecutor's office. According to sources referred to by Zebra TV, it may be an early termination of his powers with the wording “due to loss of trust”

The reason for the claims of the supervisory authority was information about the income and expenses of the deputy. According to the publication, his expenses for the previous tax period were higher than official income received over the past three years. The competent department of the city administration is now examining the circumstances set out in the prosecutor's submission. The check could take about a month.

Sources of the publication admit that the city Council may not support the requirements of the Prosecutor’s office. However, in this case, the supervisory authority has the right to apply to the court. According to the interlocutor of Zebra TV, such an outcome may turn into additional reputational losses for the city authorities and the United Russia party. It is also reported that even voluntary abdication will not necessarily avoid changing the wording of the reason for leaving.

As an example, the story of the former head of Vladimir Dmitry Naumov is given. Almost a year ago, he was removed from office at the request of the regional prosecutor Ivan Gribov in connection with the loss of trust. By that time, Naumov was already in jail on the case of receiving a bribe from representatives of the so-called cemetery mafia. He was later sentenced to eight years in prison.

The prosecutor’s office and the city council did not comment on the situation with Musikhin.
