Top Russian Generals Arrested, Investigated for 'Abuse of Power'
Russian law enforcement detained three top Russian generals, including an aide to the head of the country's interior ministry, on charges of abuse of power, officials said Wednesday.
Lieutenant-General Sergei Umnov, the assistant to the head of Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, was detained alongside Major General Alexei Semyonov, head of St. Petersburg's traffic police, and Major General Ivan Abakumov, as the country's invasion of Ukraine rages on.
Between 2016 and 2020, the three top Russian generals allegedly misappropriated funds from the Program Assistance Fund for the St. Petersburg and Leningrad region's Main Department of Internal Affairs, and purchased property "for personal use," Russian newspaper Kommersant reported.
According to the state-run paper, at the request of the generals, money from the fund was spent on the purchase of real estate and cars, as well as the maintenance of freelance assistants.
