The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation presented 52 volumes of documents on the origin of the property of former Krasnodar Regional Court Judge Elena Khakhaleva and her family members.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel," in early April, the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar accepted a claim from the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation to seize the property of former Krasnodar Regional Court Judge Elena Khakhaleva and her family members, including Judge Natalia Khakhaleva of the Arbitration Court of Krasnodar Krai. On April 27, Khakhaleva's lawyer stated that she lives in Tbilisi, and that investigative authorities are aware of this.

The Russian Prosecutor General's Office presented 52 volumes of documents to the court regarding the origin of the property of Elena Khakhaleva and her family members, TASS reported on May 9.

The court granted the agency's request to include the documents so that the parties could review them, and the case hearing was adjourned until May 13.

The claims in the case had also been previously clarified. Eleven individuals identified as affiliated with Khakhaleva's family and, according to investigators, assisting in concealing assets obtained through corruption have been added to the case as co-defendants. Investigators believe that in 2019, Khakhaleva went on business trips that she did not properly document, and her absences were considered absenteeism. In total, she missed 127 workdays, while continuing to receive her salary, and earned 1.2 million rubles during her absence. In December 2021, the High Qualification Collegium of Judges of Russia authorized the initiation of a case against Khakhaleva, a week prior to which Khakhaleva left Russia. In May 2022, the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia ordered the initiation of a case against Khakhaleva on charges of official forgery and fraud, and the court ordered her arrest in absentia. On January 27, 2025, Azerbaijani authorities informed the Prosecutor General's Office and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs that Elena Khakhaleva was detained at the Baku airport while attempting to fly to Dubai. In March, she left Azerbaijan for another country, said Shahla Humbatova, Khakhaleva's lawyer.
