The high-profile detention of Timur Ivanov, one of Russia's 12 deputy defense ministers, for suspicion of taking bribes worth at least 1 million roubles amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine raises concerns about corruption at high levels.
Ivanov's alleged involvement in extravagant living, including luxurious trips abroad and elite real estate, as revealed by Alexei Navalny's team, highlights a pattern of corruption and abuse of power among top officials.
Being sanctioned by both the US and the EU in 2022, Timur Ivanov is likely the highest-ranking Russian official to face such charges since the war with Ukraine, further indicating a crackdown on corruption within the government ranks.
