A rare move in Russia, Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov has been detained for allegedly taking a large bribe, facing up to 15 years in prison, a significant development amid the Ukraine conflict.
Ivanov, sanctioned by the US and EU for his role in the conflict, was reportedly one of the wealthiest men in Russia's security structures and oversaw construction projects in Ukraine's Mariupol, as per an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Foundation.
