At 69 years old, former First Deputy Minister of the Russian Ministry of Defense Ruslan Talykov is accused of organizing a criminal gang, accepting bribes, and embezzling public funds, facing more than 20 years of strict imprisonment, which is effectively equivalent to a life sentence.
His case involves the high-price procurement of military supplies through the "Military Store" joint-stock company, causing losses to the Ministry of Defense exceeding 6.6 billion rubles. The illicit funds were laundered through commercial real estate.
