The case of Nasonova was heard by the Pervomaisky District Court of Krasnodar. According to the case materials, the defendant, holding the position of head of the technology and laboratory control department of "KrasnodarAvtodor," systematically took bribes from representatives of road organizations for certain actions in their interests from November 2024 to August 2025.

During the court session, the defendant fully admitted her guilt. The court found her guilty under two parts of the article on receiving a bribe and sentenced Nasonova to eight years in prison with a prohibition on holding positions in public service for four years after her release.
