15 years? That's the same punishment for anyone who calls the Ukraine war a "war".
They arrested him because he refused to trip and fall off a cliff in a potato field.
Finally he is being held accountable
What ? He didn't give 10% to The Big Guy ?

When I traveled around Donetsk, Ukraine I saw what happened to those that didn't pay off the Russian mafia. Their businesses were wrecked and sometimes the business owners just disappeared. The Russian mafia pretty much owned the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

There is more to this than meets the eye. He is/was very close to Putler. Things are not going well in the inner circle, and this is just the beginning.
He has plenty of open windows to follow right now.
Blood in the shark tank! It is going to get interesting!
Forgot to pay 10% to the little guy 😂
He took too less simple
He was the head of military construction and was taking bribes from some other Rusky business man. So they say......
Party boys can't....HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!
These levels of corruption make the cost of war more expensive for what they get. It’s a good thing for Ukraine as the Russia economy weakens as the conflict drags on.
Not buying the bribe charge, wonder who he got on the wrong side of?
Realized he was incompetent.
Puddin would rid of all those he feels is a threat.
I wonder if they put him behind a window to let him know what going to happen.
so proud to be a russian these days
Is there anyone in Russia who doesn't go to jail ???
Construction and bribes. Well, thats a new one. ;). The offence is taking "huge" bribes. The law of the land stipulates that only normal bribes are acceptable.
Putin must have ordered this No?
He got caught not sharing with poutine.

Ivanov lived in The Master and Margarita house, he must’ve known that one day Shoigu would turn into a giant malevolent cat and all his money would turn into blank pieces of paper! The devil takes you when you least expect it. I bet he wishes he had some of Azalellos Cream about now. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Timur Ivanov can face 15 years in jail is not enough, he should be flying off from window. Shoigu or Putin who are taking bribes even bigger than Timur Ivanov.
