Viktor Ledenev led the Investigative Committee for the Kaliningrad Region since May 2013.

In 2017, a criminal case was opened in Kaliningrad against the editor -in -chief of the local newspaper and the former deputy of the Kaliningrad Duma Igor Rudnikov. The victim in the case was the head of the UK Viktor Ledenev.

According to investigators, Rudnikov allegedly extorted from Ledenev through the deputy authorized representative of President Alexander Datsyshin 50 thousand dollars for non -publication of negative articles in the "new wheels". Prior to the initiation of the criminal case, Rudnikov announced that Ledenev lives in an elite mansion, information about which is not in an anti -corruption declaration.

The consideration of the criminal case against Rudnikov in court began in 2019. During the investigation, it turned out that Ledenev really lived in the house indicated by Rudnikov, who officially belonged to a certain Moscow friend of the head of the committee.

During the judicial debate, the prosecutor's office demanded the sentence of Rudnikov to 10 years in the colony. However, the court re -qualified the case to a softer article and sentenced Rudnikov and Datsyshin to compulsory work.
