Blogger Mitroshina wished to be released on New Year's Eve
Blogger Alexandra Mitroshina, accused of laundering 127 million rubles, celebrated the New Year under house arrest. In a conversation with Izvestia on January 13, she said that she was used to celebrating the holiday at home, and did not feel much difference.
"The president, the chimes, [celebrated] with her husband, with the cats. Nothing unusual, just a friendly family atmosphere, it was very warm, gifts. <...> Of course I [wished] to be released," she shared.
The court is expected to question witnesses in the Mitroshina case on February 5.
Mitroshina was detained on March 7 last year at Sochi airport upon arrival from Dubai and charged with laundering 127 million rubles. According to investigators, having debts to the tax service, in 2021 she purchased an elite apartment on Bolshaya Dmitrovka in the center of Moscow.
Investigators have opened a criminal case against former lawyer Alisa Volkhova and lawyer Olga Goltseva, accused of fraud in the Mitroshina case. Mitroshina filed a civil lawsuit to recover 68.6 million rubles from Volkhova and Goltseva.
From March 2023 to August 2024, lawyers abused Mitroshina's trust by making false threats. They talked about problems with the tax authorities, the possible blocking of accounts and blacklisting of the presidential administration, offering to solve these problems for a fee.
On November 1, 2025, the Investigative Committee of Russia completed the investigation of the criminal case against Mitroshina. It was sent to court.
On December 4, the blogger reported that she had to sell some of her apartments to pay off her tax debt. On the same day, her house arrest was extended until May 1, 2026. She added that house arrest is a rather mild measure of restraint for her.
