Major General Mirza Mirzayev, the deputy head of logistics for Russia's National Guard, has been detained on corruption charges, accused of extorting 140 million rubles from a supplier. The court denied his request for house arrest, mandating detention until January 2025. This action is part of a larger crackdown on military graft, which has already seen the arrest of Colonel Oleg Gamayunov for allegedly defrauding the government of over 80 million rubles.
The growing list of corruption cases targeting top military officials in Russia highlights a significant internal struggle against graft within the National Guard. Major General Mirza Mirzayev's arrest is emblematic of this crackdown as authorities intensify efforts to root out corruption linked to military contracts and suppliers.
