The court confiscated the property of the former deputy minister of natural resources of Kuban.

The Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar has seized the apartments, cars, and money of the former First Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Kainov, and those close to him. The total amount of the recovery amounted to over 100 million rubles.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Knot", at the end of December 2025, the regional prosecutor's office filed a lawsuit demanding the seizure of assets worth over 90 million rubles from former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of Kuban Alexander Kainov.

At the end of May 2025, the Pervomaisky Court of Krasnodar arrested Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of Krasnodar Krai Alexander Kainov, suspected of fraud amounting to four million rubles. According to investigators, in the summer of 2023, an acquaintance approached the official asking for assistance in changing the sentence of his friend's grandson, who had been sentenced to prison for a second drunk driving offense. Kainov demanded 4 million rubles in exchange, in reality intending to pocket the money, according to a post on the regional Investigative Committee's Telegram channel.

The court established that, while holding the said position, the former official actually used his powers for personal enrichment and acquired property with unconfirmed income, the regional prosecutor's office reported today on Telegram.

The Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar upheld the prosecutor's office's claim against the former First Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of the region, Alexander Kainov, and his close associates. A 600-square-meter plot of land, a parking space, three apartments with a total area of 405.5 square meters, and four premium cars were seized from the defendants in favor of the state.

The total value of the seized property was reportedly 76.7 million rubles. In addition, 29.8 million rubles were recovered from the former deputy minister and his family members. The supervisory agency specified that the court decision is subject to immediate execution.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that at the end of January, the Prosecutor General's Office's second claim for the confiscation of assets from former head of the Supreme Court of Adygea, Aslan Trakhov, and his son, former chairman of the Prikubansky District Court of Krasnodar, Rustem Trakhov, was upheld.
