From 2016 to 2026, she received, among other things, a one-time payment for the birth of a child, payments for caring for him, benefits related to the birth and upbringing of children, as well as payments for the birth of a third and subsequent children.

      The total amount of illegally obtained funds exceeded 1.7 million rubles. The prosecutor's office has approved the indictment in the case.
