Loginova was detained in October 2023. Then, in the blood of one of the children she was raising, a drug was found that was prohibited for his illness. It also turned out that 15 minors were in the care of the woman, but due to an operation in 2010, the woman could not give birth. At the same time, Loginova assured that some of the children born after this operation were also her relatives.

After conducting a genetic examination and checking the registration of children, a criminal case was opened on child trafficking using forged documents and intentional harm to health.

In the same month, Natalia Patoka, Loginova's accomplice, was detained. The woman created a shelter for mothers in difficult circumstances, and registered minors in her name.
