The Nizhny Novgorod Regional Court extended the preventive measure for Alexander Paramonov – the former head of the local branch of RANEPA, who is a defendant in a corruption and abuse of power case. By the court's decision, he will remain under house arrest until April 2, 2026, inclusive. The ruling has not yet entered into legal force, the court's press service reported. The investigation believes that Paramonov may be involved in several crimes – fraud, abuse of official powers, exceeding authority, as well as a series of episodes of receiving bribes. A high-profile criminal case was initiated in March 2025. According to the investigation, the director of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of RANEPA, along with subordinates, organized a scheme to obtain money from students. For a reward, they allegedly helped them enroll in the university, assigned positive grades without attending classes, and issued diplomas without actual training. Investigators believe that from just one student, the defendants received more than one million rubles for "assistance" in studies and diploma issuance. The money, it is claimed, was distributed among the group members.
