Ufa Court Denies Detention for Ex-Mayor Mavliev
The Ufa City Court decided not to send former mayor Ratmir Mavliev to pre-trial detention, maintaining his current measure of restraint, despite prosecution's request due to concerns over evidence tampering and potential pressure on city council members.

- Mavliev remains under a ban on certain actions.
- Mavliev is under investigation for abuse of power and bribery under Articles 286 and 290 of the Russian Criminal Code.
- The court rejected the prosecution's request to transfer Mavliev to pre-trial detention.
