Russian law enforcement detained three top Russian generals, including an aide to the head of the country's interior ministry, on charges of abuse of power, officials said Wednesday.
Lieutenant-General Sergei Umnov, the assistant to the head of Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, was detained alongside Major General Alexei Semyonov, head of St. Petersburg's traffic police, and Major General Ivan Abakumov, as the country's invasion of Ukraine rages on.
Between 2016 and 2020, the three top Russian generals allegedly misappropriated funds from the Program Assistance Fund for the St. Petersburg and Leningrad region's Main Department of Internal Affairs, and purchased property "for personal use," Russian newspaper Kommersant reported.

Fake news. All the top Russian generals were killed 3x already.
Purge.
They should defect to Ukraine. With their experience they’d fit right in.
Helluva Job Brownie!
Arrested for doing what Russian Generals do. Probably committed some other offense, like criticizing Putin.
The war exposed the depth of corruption in the Russian army.
“Ivan, where are those missiles?”
Sounds like they were plotting against Vlad
Their problem is that they needed to use their drug-addicted children as bag-men for corruption money, which is then transferred to their charitable foundations.
These Russians are so backwards!!
It sounds like Putin is going full Stalin.
Thank god we have honest patriotic generals here in the good ‘ol US of A.
“Top Russian Generals Arrested, Investigated for ‘Abuse of Power’”
Too bad we didn’t do the same for Milly, for if we had, we’d still be a global superpower, rather than being reduced to another Great Britain, due our war in Ukraine.
“Sounds like they were plotting against Vlad”
If anything, to bring the war to a quicker ending with Russia still winning.
“Fake news. All the top Russian generals were killed 3x already.”
True, I have lost count...
Culling the herd. It will make them better.
Lavrenti Beria's deputy was named Viktor Abakumov. Wonder if there is a connection?
The earlier Abakumov was shot after frightful torture.
Putin Stooges worst affected.
Task & Purpose had a great video on the corruption in the Russian military.
ALL of The Generals are corrupt skimmers. When Putin wants you gone, he uses that as an excuse. If you do your job, he lets you keep on skimming.
How would Putin not know you are corrupt?
Yep. Incorruptible.
Or incorrigible?
I had the same thoughts
