💨 Abstract

A Russian army lieutenant-general, Vadim Shamarin, was sentenced to seven years in a penal colony for taking bribes worth $440,000. The bribes were from a factory in the Ural mountains that produces communications equipment, in exchange for larger state contracts. The conviction is part of President Putin's crackdown on corruption within the military, which has been embroiled in a four-year war in Ukraine.
