The former Minister of Civil Defense and Emergency Situations of Kuban Sergey Strikov was sentenced to 6.5 years in a general regime colony for exceeding official powers. The court found that he requested to cancel the tender for the construction of a fire station, so that the winner in the repeated declaration would be the organization he supported. According to the court, Strikov expected to receive about 20 million rubles for this. The damage to the company that won the initial auction amounted to 14.02 million rubles. The court decided to collect this amount from the convict.
