On November 4, Major General Mirza Mirzayev, a top official in Russia's National Guard, was taken into pretrial detention on serious corruption allegations, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing crackdown on military fraud and graft.
Mirzayev is accused of extorting a bribe of 140 million rubles, or over $1.4 million, from a supplier of modular buildings, with payments reportedly being funneled through an intermediary.
This case reveals not only the depth of corruption within the National Guard but also follows the detention of other high-ranking officials, suggesting a broader crackdown on military graft in Russia.
