Ex-mayor's Porsche listed for 4.9M rubles without keys

In Tatarstan, a white Porsche Cayenne has been put up for auction. According to 116.RU, the car belonged to former Bugulma mayor Liner Zakirov.

The car is a 2019 model — photos show no defects, but there is a catch: the elite vehicle«s functionality has not been verified, and keys and documents are completely missing.

According to the website, the auction will take place on 4 March, with a starting price of 4,853,000 rubles ($53,900). The deadline for submitting applications is 1 March, and the auction step is 242,653 rubles ($2,700 at current rates).

Similar used Cayennes from 2019 start at 6,900,000 rubles ($76,700) on car sale websites.

As a reminder, on 28 April 2025, Zakirov resigned after the story of his «dekulakization» (asset forfeiture) unfolded: the prosecutor«s office demanded through court to seize property from the former Bugulma mayor, his mother, and his cousin worth first 60 million rubles ($666,700) and then 212 million rubles ($2,355,600). The lawsuit against the official and his family was personally filed by the Prosecutor of Tatarstan, Albert Suyargulov. According to the agency, houses and apartments in Bugulma, Kazan, and Moscow were purchased with funds whose origin Zakirov could not explain.

Later, this very Porsche was found among Zakirov«s assets, along with real estate in Sochi, foreign trips, and luxury items. The former mayor and his relatives were unable to challenge the decision to confiscate the property in favor of the state.
