The sentence for Yevgeny Filippov was upheld in the appellate court.
The Krasnodar Regional Court upheld the sentence of former Minister of Health of Kuban, Yevgeny Filippov, who was convicted of large-scale fraud.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in July, the prosecutor's office appealed the sentence of former Minister of Health of Kuban, Yevgeny Filippov, who was sentenced to four years in a penal colony for fraud on a large scale.
Filippov, according to the investigation, embezzled more than seven million rubles of budget funds from November 2015 to December 2025. The attention of law enforcement to Filippov, who has headed the Ministry of Health of Kuban since 2013, was drawn by the property status of his family: numerous real estate properties are registered in the name of the official and his relatives. The property and business of Filippov, his relatives, and trusted persons have been confiscated by court decision for the benefit of the state, including 21 apartments, two private houses, 14 non-residential premises, nine land plots, seven apartments, four garages, and three parking spaces.
In the appeal against the sentence, the former minister's defender, Konstantin Shulgin, requested to mitigate the punishment imposed on Filippov by the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar on June 29 of this year - four years in a general regime colony with a fine of 500,000 rubles. The appellate instance found no grounds for this, reports "Kommersant" today.
The regional court also rejected the prosecutor's request, which did not contest the punishment imposed on Filippov but asked to make some amendments to the descriptive and motivational part of the sentence.
According to lawyer Shulgin, his client does not intend to appeal the entered into force sentence in higher instances.
"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the court notified about the disappearance in the SVO zone of former Vice-Governor of Krasnodar Krai, Sergey Vlasov, who signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense after being sentenced to 11 years in a strict regime colony for bribery.
