The former Minister of Civil Defense and Emergency Situations of Kuban received 6.5 years in prison for fraud with government procurement. According to the court, in July 2024, Sergey Strikov instructed his subordinates to prepare fictitious documents about violations during an auction that had already taken place. As a result, he obtained the cancellation of the tender. The company whose interests he promoted won the re-auction. For this, the former minister expected to receive a refund of 20 million rubles. The damage to the organization that won the initial auction amounted to 14 million rubles. The court sentenced him to 6 years and 6 months in a general regime colony. He was also stripped of the title of "Police Major" and the amount of the damage caused was recovered from him.
