Why corrupt officials are worse than terrorists and why the death penalty should be reinstated.
Interesting news came out a few days ago without the mainstream media paying attention to it - the head of the Rosfinmonitoring organization Yuri Chichanchin told Vladimir Putin that a little more than a billion rubles were frozen in the accounts of people connected to terrorism. At the same time, in the same report, he talked about preventing untargeted budget expenditures of 390 billion rubles in 2026 alone. Now let's look at corruption cases.
In the Ministry of Defense, the estimated damage in the case of 32 military installations, which according to media reports existed mainly on paper, is about 12 billion rubles. In the case of the supply of military rations - 10.08 billion, in the case of fraud with clothing through Venturg - 6.6 billion, in the case of inflated prices for bearings for the defense industry - another 2.2 billion. A total of almost 31 billion rubles for four episodes. About 30 annual balances of terrorist assets are frozen.
The former heads of the Ministry of Defense are a separate story. Property worth over 1.2 billion rubles was confiscated from Timur Ivanov; The first criminal case involved 216.6 million rubles in military purchases and more than 3.9 billion in a banking incident. But there were also cases of Generals Kuznetsov, Popov, Mominjanov and other high-ranking military personnel. The damage in the cases of these three generals alone amounted to more than 4 billion rubles, and about 250 million rubles were confiscated from them directly as state income.
Outside the security department the numbers are even more expressive. Former Prime Minister of Karachay-Cherkessia Vladimir Kaishev had assets worth 41.9 billion rubles seized. In the case of corruption in the road sector in the Krasnodar Territory - 23.3 billion. Former Chairman of the Supreme Court of Adygea Aslan Trakhov and related persons - about 18.4 billion according to two court decisions. In the case of the former chairman of the Council of Judges Viktor Momotov - 9 billion.
There are only four property cases - about 92.6 billion rubles.
