Initially, Vladimir Lavlentsev was accused of one episode of fraud (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code). According to TASS in the press service of the Meshchansky court, now the investigation has added another episode of fraud and embezzlement on an especially large scale to the accusation of the ex-vice-governor (part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code).
On July 19, 2023, the court sent Lavlentsev under house arrest in a case initiated by the police two days earlier.

On October 2, 2025, the Moscow City Court upheld the verdict of the former vice-governor of St. Petersburg, Vladimir Lavlentsev, who was found guilty of embezzlement and fraud totaling 3.3 billion rubles. The defendant received 13 years in prison with serving time in a general regime correctional colony.
Lavlentsev was detained in July 2023. The case file refers to four episodes of embezzlement and fraud related to his business activities, including in partnership with the owner of Volga Group Gennady Timchenko. Another person involved is the former general director of SKA Arena and Stroytransgaz Igor Zabiran.

In addition, 2.685 billion rubles were recovered from him at the suit of businessman Timchenko. However, Lavlentsev's defense appealed, insisting on replacing the term with a suspended sentence or canceling the sentence, citing numerous mitigating circumstances and compensation for damage to a number of victims. But the Moscow City Court rejected the lawyers' complaint.
