Lieutenant General Yuri Kuznetsov, the head of the Main Personnel Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry, has been arrested on suspicion of bribery. The arrest, which occurred on May 13 in Moscow, was confirmed by Russia’s Investigative Committee. Kuznetsov is alleged to have taken a bribe on a particularly large scale, with more than $1 million in cash and valuables discovered at his properties during an overnight raid. This marks the second arrest of a high-ranking Defense Ministry official for alleged corruption in recent weeks, signaling a broader crackdown on corruption within the ministry and apparent purge on allies of former minister Sergei Shoigu.
