In a major anti-corruption move, Russian security services have detained Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov on allegations of accepting massive bribes. Ivanov’s arrest marks the highest-profile corruption case since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The investigation into Ivanov, who was in charge of property management and construction at the Defense Ministry, has triggered speculation about a crackdown on corruption within the Russian military and possible infighting among the elite. Ivanov’s arrest follows long-standing accusations from military bloggers about corruption and incompetence among top generals, particularly in the wake of Russia’s setbacks in the Ukraine conflict.
