Investigators have completed work on the criminal case against former Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Timur Ivanov.
Details were reported on Tuesday, November 19, by his lawyer Murad Musayev.
Ivanov and his defense attorney were given a week to familiarize themselves with the materials of the criminal case, RIA Novosti reports.
We are talking about the embezzlement of 3.2 billion rubles from Interkommerts Bank, as well as the embezzlement of over 200 million rubles on the purchase and sale of ferries for the Kerch crossing.
This is the second criminal case against the former deputy minister. In late April, Ivanov was arrested for accepting bribes on an especially large scale (about 1 billion rubles).
As for Interkommerts and the ferry deals, we are talking about the events of 2015. The criminal case was opened 8 years ago.
Ivanov's defense considers the accusations "completely groundless."
Another person involved in this case is the head of Oboronlogistics LLC, Anton Filatov.
