According to the source in the military department, the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergey Shoiga removed Ivanov from his post. It is worth recalling that Ivanov was detained on April 23. The Moscow Basmann Court adopted the decision on its arrest for two months due to charges of receiving bribes in a particularly large amount (Part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code).
The investigation reported that he contributed to the contractors in signing contracts from the Defense Ministry in exchange for free construction and repair work at their facilities. The official can now spend 8 to 15 years old. Ivanov himself in court refused to admit guilt in receiving bribes. In 2022, the Fund for Corruption Alexei Navalny published an investigation that concerned the life of the former wife of Ivanov Svetlana Maniovich.
Among other things, it was possible to find out that for many years she spent hundreds of thousands of euros on a vacation on the azure shore, jewelry and outfit. Moreover, the payment of all its accounts regularly occurred at the expense of other people or companies. Meanwhile, Bloomberg, referring to reputable sources in the Russian military department, noted that most likely, Sergei Shoigu would retain his position even after the arrest of his main deputy Timur Ivanov.
It is noted that for shore the arrest of his deputy should be considered a "last warning" for the head of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, from which Moscow expects to improve the work of his department during wartime. On April 24, Focus wrote that Timur Ivanov was charged with a bribe in a particularly large amount after the special operation of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
