A graft scandal centered on allegations against a close ally of Russia’s defense minister has become a subject of intense speculation. Sergey Shoigu’s Deputy, Timur Ivanov, was arrested on April 23 on charges of taking bribes.But experts say Ivanov may just have be the latest Russian official to be embroiled in the Kremlin’s power intrigues.
The action against Shoigu’s closest allies came on the eve of Putin’s inauguration for a fifth presidential term next week. The Russian president is expected to reshuffle his cabinet which may see some new faces inducted into the government. Therefore, Ivanov’s arrest is widely interpreted as an ominous sign for Russia’s longtime Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
