Former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Popov Detained on Fraud Charges
Aug 29, 2024, 10:20 AM
Russian authorities have detained Pavel Popov, the former Deputy Minister of Defense, on charges of fraud. The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case against Popov, who was dismissed from his position two months ago. The charges relate to fraud on a particularly large scale, with allegations involving properties worth over 500 million rubles in Moscow and the Krasnodar region. Popov is accused of fraud linked to the construction of Patriot Park outside Moscow. The investigation is part of a broader crackdown on corruption within the Russian Ministry of Defense.
