Major General Mirza Mirzayev, the deputy head of logistics for the National Guard, has been charged with extortion, demanding a bribe of 140 million rubles from a supplier.
The court has denied Mirzayev's request for house arrest, placing him in pretrial detention until January 2, 2025, as investigations into military corruption escalate.
This is part of a broader crackdown on military graft in Russia, which has implicated several high-ranking officials within the National Guard, including Colonel Oleg Gamayunov.
Mirzayev's arrest underscores the seriousness of corruption allegations within the Russian military framework, as multiple cases of fraud and extortion have been revealed.
