Russia Arrests Military Official in New Corruption Case
(MENAFN) Russia detains another senior military-linked official on corruption allegations, as stated by reports citing a statement from military investigative authorities on Wednesday.
According to reports, Vitaly Melimuk, deputy director general of Patriot Park, is accused of accepting a bribe worth 18 million rubles (about $241,320).
Investigators say the case involves alleged corruption connected to operational and logistical activities at the facility, which operates under the Russian Defense Ministry, as stated by reports.
Authorities have opened a criminal case against him for receiving a large-scale bribe under relevant provisions of Russian criminal law, according to reports.
The detention is part of a broader anti-corruption campaign within Russia’s military establishment, where dozens of officials have been arrested and sentenced in recent years. The crackdown reportedly began in April 2024 with the arrest of a senior defense official and expanded after leadership changes in the defense ministry, as stated by reports.
The ongoing wave of arrests is described as one of the most extensive corruption investigations within the Russian armed forces in recent history, according to reports.
