The problems of the region

The scandal in connection with the sale of the philharmonic building for an extremely low price was the basis for the searches. On May 9, the petition of the investigation was granted, and for the detainees an arrest was chosen as a preventive measure. According to some media reports, from the building that was the subject of the dispute, the philharmonic moved to another venue back in the 90s. In 2012, the center of national crafts operated in it, in which Hatsukova worked, who later became the buyer of this building.
