Senior Russian General Arrested in Expanding Military Corruption Probe

Maj. Gen. Valery Mumindzhanov's detention marks the ninth high-profile military arrest in recent months.

Mumindzhanov is accused of accepting a bribe of over 20 million rubles from Defense Ministry suppliers.
The investigation is examining how Mumindzhanov and his family acquired properties worth 120 million rubles.
The arrests coincide with President Putin's replacement of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Former Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Popov was also detained on fraud charges related to misuse of military contracts.
Analysts suggest the crackdown signals a broader effort to address corruption within Russia's military leadership.
