According to the prosecution, since 2014, Kurakin, using false documents, organized a massive deforestation of healthy forests on the territory of military units of the Western Military District under the guise of sanitary. Then the forest was sold to China. Plots with cut down trees were sold to entrepreneurs for landfills. The UK estimated the damage from the actions of the official and his accomplices at more than 4 billion rubles.

Kurakin came to the Department of the Ministry of Defense to replace Evgenia Vasilyeva, a defendant in the Oboronservice case, because of which Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov was fired. She was convicted of fraud in the sale of assets of the military department for five years in prison, but left the colony on parole after spending a little more than a month there.

In addition to Kurakin, his former first deputy Vladislav Kholodkov and the head of Oboronspecresurs Maxim Ana are being investigated. They are suspected of receiving a bribe on a particularly large scale. The prosecutor's office demands that they be sent to a strict regime colony for 14 years with a fine of three times the amount of a bribe (369 million rubles), RBC clarifies.
