The court sentenced blogger Logetskaya to four years in a penal colony in a fraud case.

The Dorogomilovsky District Court of Moscow has sentenced blogger Victoria Logetskaya to four years in a general regime penal colony in a particularly large-scale fraud case. This was reported on February 18 by a correspondent of Izvestia.

The defense requested a non-custodial preventive measure. The lawyer intends to appeal the verdict.

It was established that in the period from March 2023 to February 2025, Logetskaya promised to arrange filming of advertisements and television programs with their subsequent broadcast on one of the TV channels, but in reality she did not have such an opportunity. As a result, the blogger stole the 32 million rubles she received and disposed of them at her discretion.

It was noted that in the period from 2020 to 2022, she evaded taxes in the amount of over 130 million rubles. In order to legitimize the possession and disposal of these funds, the blogger conducted a number of financial transactions aimed at legalizing part of the income.
