A complaint has been filed with the cassation court by the family of former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of the Krasnodar Territory Alexander Kainov and his family members regarding the confiscation of property for state revenue.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in March the court transferred to state revenue the apartments and cars of former First Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of the Krasnodar Territory Alexander Kainov and his close associates. The total amount of the claim exceeded 100 million rubles.

The cassation complaints of former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of Kuban Alexander Kainov and his family members regarding the decision to transfer their property to state revenue have been submitted to the Fourth Cassation Court of General Jurisdiction, writes "Kommersant" on November 14.

In their complaints, the Kainovs insist that the Oktyabrsky District Court of Krasnodar, and subsequently the Krasnodar Regional Court, did not take into account the entire income of family members when considering the claim, ignored the evidence of the legality of their income presented by the defendants, and incorrectly classified a number of circumstances as violations of anti-corruption law.

In particular, Kainov claims that he was accused of purchasing an apartment worth 3.6 million rubles in 2013, but he asserts that it was bought with a mortgage loan, the last payment of which he made to the bank only at the end of 2021. His wife purchased an apartment for five million rubles after their marriage, but she sold her old property for four million to do so. He also called the claims against his parents unfounded, as their income allowed them to buy both real estate and cars.
