The deputy governor of a Russian region bordering Ukraine has been detained as part of a criminal case involving the embezzlement of 1 billion roubles (S$15.8 million) earmarked for defensive fortifications, the Tass state news agency reported.
The office of Deputy Kursk Governor Vladimir Bazarov, who previously worked as deputy governor in the neighbouring Belgorod region, was being searched, Tass reported.
The detention of Bazarov was confirmed by Kursk Governor Alexander Khinshtein, who said the case related to his work in the Belgorod region. He gave no further comment.
Reuters was unable to contact Bazarov or his lawyer.
Since Ukrainian troops smashed their way across the border and entered Kursk region in 2024 in the biggest military incursion into Russia since World War II, a series of Russian officials have been investigated for corruption.
In July, President Vladimir Putin dismissed Roman Starovoit, a former Kursk governor, as transport minister and asked Mr Starovoit’s deputy to replace him. Mr Starovoit was later found dead in his car from a gunshot wound, and investigators said he appeared to have committed suicide.

No comment by mucus about the corrupt Ukrainian officials who stole funds earmarked for defensive fortifications.
The AFU is finding out about missing fortifications as they advance to the rear.
It is likely that his flippant responses and overly large graphics have a lessening effect on his threads.
ROLMAO. There are few comments here because the armchair fans of Putin’s regime have constructed a fantasy world were Putinist Russia is not a bastion of filth, corruption and mass murder. Anything, such as this report, that departs from that day day dream and into reality is ignored. Likewise the corrupt nature of Putin’s regime is obvious for those who understand its malignant nature and they have no need to validate such an obvious fact.
Prigozhin was quite popular until he launched his Wagner coup and march on Moscow. Now after he was murdered by Putin the posts on Prigozhin are avoided by those once gleefully supported him because he has become a non-person. Etc., etc.

Keep feeding the press-ganged Ukies into the meat grinder.
The Russians will luv ya for it.
Nice mind-reading, Zelyanista.
“The Russians will luv ya for it.”
When the facts are against you, resort to slander.
Now why would I be getting flak from you on that topic? LOL.
Kremlin Bolsheviks and their Fifth Column fellow travellers have always just air brushed inconvient facts and history.
