Savelovsky district court has extended the arrest of third parties' property in the case of blogger Elena Blinovskaya until May 2. This was reported by Izvestiya correspondent from the courtroom on January 23.

The blogger said that from the very beginning of the investigation she wrote a confession of guilt. She shared that she had been engaged in online marathons since 2014 and started with her friends, and then her husband Alexei, who quit his job and helped, got involved in this activity.

Later, on January 14, the press service of the main interregional directorate of the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP) of the Russian Federation reported that the enforcement proceedings for the collection of tax debts had been terminated against the blogger.

On November 13, 2024, the court declared Blinovskaya bankrupt and began the realization of her property. On December 16, 2024, the blogger filed an appeal against the bankruptcy decision. According to the court filing, her husband also filed an appeal of the bankruptcy decision on December 6.

In April 2023, the blogger was detained on suspicion of fraud for non-payment of taxes in the amount of about 918 million rubles.
