New details have become known about the case of former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Popov.
They were revealed on Wednesday, November 13, by the arrested man’s lawyer, Denis Sagach.
He said that Popov gave 17 million rubles from his personal funds to another defendant in the case, Vladimir Shesterov, RIA Novosti reports.
The official instructed him to take care of the arrangement of a dacha in the Moscow region.
We are talking about a 1-story house with a plot of thirty acres.
Investigators at the end of August 2024 claimed that Popov used funds from the Patriot military-patriotic park for personal purposes.
The official used this money to pay for construction work and also used it to purchase material assets for himself.
The director of the park, Vyacheslav Akhmedov, and the deputy head of the Main Directorate for Innovative Development of the Ministry of Defense, Vladimir Shesterov, are also involved in this case.
They abused the trust and stole 30 million rubles from the budget. These funds were allocated for the functioning of the Patriot Park.
