A criminal case may be related to Kuznetsov's previous work, where he was engaged in protection of state secrets, Russian media state. Employees of the Department of Military Counterintelligence of the Federal Security Service of Russia detained the Chief of the Main Department of Personnel of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation General-Lieutenant Yuri Kuznetsov. This was reported by the Russian TASS.

"The head of the Main Department of Human Resources of the Russian Federation Lieutenant-General Kuznetsov was detained, reported in law enforcement agencies," TASS wrote. At the same time, Russian telegram channels write about the "cleaning" in the Ministry of Defense after the resignation of Sergiy Shoigu, which began with the arrest of Deputy Defense Timur Ivanov in late April.

"As far as we know, Kuznetsov's activities were taken into account the position of the Head of the State Security Service, not his personnel. And documents are of particular importance, unfortunately, reality), "-wrote one of the Russian TG channels. Until 2023, Yuriy Kuznetsov held the position of Chief of the 8th Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (State Secrets Protection Service).

In addition, one of the Russian channel telegrams states that a person with a name, who coincide with Kuznetsov, have recently been registered in the database of the 235th Military Garrison Court and delivered to elect a measure of restraint. We will remind, on May 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin released Sergiy Shoig from the post of Minister of Defense and appointed a new one: he became the former first deputy head of government Andriy Bilousov.
