In early June, Russian media drew attention to problems facing a number of companies closely connected to Russia’s defense industry.

In the case involving former First Deputy Defense Minister Ruslan Tsalikov, one of the alleged bribe givers is Anton Abdurakhmanov, the former chairman of the board of directors of Bamstroiput JSC. Abdurakhmanov is the godson of former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who reportedly even referred to him as his “son.”

As per official documents, Ural businessman Igor Fishelev, involved in state defense contracts, is registered as a citizen of the United Kingdom.
