Major General Mirza Mirzayev, the deputy head of logistics for Russia's National Guard, was arrested on corruption charges for allegedly demanding a bribe of 140 million rubles, underscoring the ongoing crackdown on military graft.
The court has denied Mirzayev's request for house arrest, mandating pretrial detention until January 2025, emphasizing the severity of the corruption charges against high-ranking officials.
Mirzayev's arrest follows the case of Colonel Oleg Gamayunov, demonstrating a wider purge within the National Guard targeting graft, fraud, and the misuse of military funds.
This ongoing campaign against corruption within Russia's military institutions signals a significant shift in how authorities are addressing long-standing issues of graft and embezzlement.
