Russian general arrested on corruption charges amid military tensions
Major General Alexander Ogloblin has been arrested on corruption charges, marking another high-profile detention in the Russian military. He is accused of accepting bribes worth 10 million rubles ($103,000) from a telecommunications company. Ogloblin's arrest follows his earlier testimony against his former superior, Vadim Shamarin, who is also under investigation for corruption. This situation reflects ongoing tensions within Russia's military leadership amid a broader crackdown on corruption. Recent arrests of other military officials, including deputy defense minister Timur Ivanov, suggest a significant shift in the Russian military's internal dynamics. Speculation continues about the implications for former defense minister Sergei Shoigu and the overall power structure within the military.
