Russia Detains Deputy Defense Minister on Bribery Charge
Quick Glance: Russian Deputy Defense Minister Detained on Bribery Suspicions
  • A Russian deputy defense minister, Timur Ivanov, exposed in an investigation by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was placed in custody on Wednesday under suspicion of accepting significant bribes.

  • Ivanov, 48, a longtime ally of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, was responsible for construction and procurement for the Armed Forces and was associated with the high-profile reconstruction of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol occupied by Moscow's forces.

  • Several independent Russian media outlets alleged that Ivanov and his family amassed immense wealth through kick-backs on contracts he approved at the ministry.

  • Critics argue that the substantial funds flowing into the Ukraine offensive have provided officials with new avenues to enrich themselves through covert procurement agreements.
