The City Duma of Krasnodar stripped former Minister of Health of Kuban Evgeny Filippov, convicted of fraud, of the title of honorary citizen of the city.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in July, the prosecutor's office appealed the sentence of former Minister of Health of Kuban Evgeny Filippov, who was sentenced to four years in prison for large-scale fraud. The Krasnodar Regional Court upheld the sentence.

Deputies of the City Duma of Krasnodar stripped former Minister of Health of Krasnodar Krai Evgeny Filippov of the title "Honorary Citizen of Krasnodar"; this decision was made at a meeting of the City Duma, reported "Morning South" on September 25.

The basis for the deprivation of the honorary title was the court sentence that came into legal force, which found Filippov guilty of fraud and sentenced him to four years of imprisonment.

It should be noted that Filippov, as the investigation believes, 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 state revenue, including 21 apartments, two private houses, 14 non-residential premises, nine land plots, seven apartments, four garages, and three parking spaces.
