Russian military investigators launched a criminal case on Monday against Major General Vadim Dragomiretsky, deputy commander of the central district of Russia's National Guard, after he was accused of receiving large sums in bribes, a senior lawmaker said.
"By decision of Russian National Guard Director Viktor Zolotov, documents have been sent on the release of Dragomiretsky from his duties with his subsequent dismissal," the lawmaker, Alexander Khinshtein, said on his Telegram channel.
"Obviously, under the weight of the evidence, Dragomiretsky was forced today to admit his guilt and even to write a confession," Khinshtein said.
