Fraud charge

[edit]

In October 2019, Arslanov was charged with major fraud. A criminal case has been initiated under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of Russia. In December 2019, the court seized Arslanov's property and extended the investigation until February 6, 2020.[3] On January 21, 2020, he was charged with two counts of particularly large fraud in the total amount of about 6.7 billion rubles.[4]

According to investigators, Arslanov stole funds during the execution of a government contract for the maintenance and repair of special military equipment. Along with Arslanov, who does not admit guilt, two heads of General Staff departments, three top managers of Voentelecom company and the general director of the consulting company ErSiAi (Russian: ЭрСиАй) appear in the criminal case.[5]

On February 7, 2020, he was detained by FSB officers during an investigation on this charge. The court pre-detentioned Arslanov for a period of 2 months, and later the term of imprisonment was extended.[6][7][8] On April 3, 2020, he was removed from office.[9] According to the Kommersant newspaper dated June 17, 2022, the trial against Arslanov will be held behind closed doors due to the fact that the case materials contain information constituting an official secret.[10]
