The court sent a request to the military enlistment office of the Krasnodar region about the whereabouts of the former vice-governor of the region, Sergey Vlasov, sentenced to 11 years for receiving a bribe, and received a response that there is no information about his whereabouts.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", at the end of May, sources in the law enforcement agencies reported that the former vice-governor of Kuban, Sergey Vlasov, went missing in the SVO zone.

The court notified about the disappearance in the SVO zone of the former vice-governor of the Krasnodar region, Sergey Vlasov, writes on August 9, RIA "Novosti", citing lawyer Alexander Burnaev.

Official information about Vlasov's disappearance was received, according to Burnaev, from the military enlistment office of the Krasnodar region in response to the court's request, which was considering the case of the former vice-governor Alexander Nestenko. The court intended to interrogate Vlasov as a witness in the case, but it turned out that the former official had gone to the SVO zone and there was no information about his whereabouts. Then the court requested information from the military enlistment office about Vlasov's whereabouts to send him a summons, but, as the lawyer noted, the court received a response that there is no information about his whereabouts, reports "Kommersant".

Let us remind you that Sergey Vlasov held the position of vice-governor of Kuban since December 2022, overseeing the construction sector. According to the court, Vlasov learned that the head of one of the companies was receiving illegal remuneration from subcontractors and demanded half of the amounts of these bribes, promising not to interfere with the illegal activities in return. However, the head of the company reported the received offer to law enforcement agencies. Vlasov was detained in May 2024. In the same month, Vlasov resigned, and in early June, he was arrested. On December 29, 2025, the court in Krasnodar sentenced him to 11 years in a strict regime colony and a fine of 90 million rubles, finding him guilty of receiving a bribe.
