The prosecutor appealed the sentence of former Minister of Health of Kuban, Evgeny Filippov, who was sentenced to four years in a penal colony for a large-scale fraud case.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", at the end of June, the court sentenced former Minister of Health of Krasnodar Krai, Evgeny Filippov, to four years in a penal colony, finding him guilty of large-scale fraud.

The prosecutor appealed the sentence of former Minister of Health of Kuban, writes "Morning South" on July 18, citing the case card on the website of the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar.

The prosecutor's appeal has already been registered; the appeal may be related to the agency's belief that the imposed sentence is too lenient and demands its tightening.

It should be noted that 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 transferred to the state as a result of a court decision, including 21 apartments, two private houses, 14 non-residential premises, nine land plots, seven apartments, four garages, and three parking spaces.
