A Russian deputy defence minister has been accused of taking bribes and remanded in custody by a court in Moscow.
Timur Ivanov, who denies the charges, is accused of accepting bribes "on a particularly large scale".
Appointed to the defence ministry in 2016, Mr Ivanov, 47, has been responsible for Russia's military infrastructure projects.
Mr Ivanov is considered an ally of Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and has worked with him for many years. He was previously deputy prime minister of the Moscow region, where Mr Shoigu briefly served as governor.

In 2022, the Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF), the group founded by late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, accused Mr Ivanov of participating in "corruption schemes during construction in the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia".
In particular, it said he had profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol, much of which was destroyed by Russian bombing in the months following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

They’re all taking bribes. He must just have pissed someone off higher up, and so they used this as a handy excuse to punish him.
