When questioned by the prosecutor, Arief also admitted that there were expenses for the singers invited by SYL.
“The witness mentioned it (expenses) several times. About 50-100 million rupees, a transfer for entertainment. What do you mean by entertainment?” he asked the public prosecutor for confirmation.

“Pay those singers who were brought here?” the prosecutor asked again. “Yes, that’s true,” Arief confirmed.

Top Russian military official arrested on suspicion of bribery
Moscow. Timur Ivanov, one of Russia’s twelve deputy defense ministers, but perhaps the closest to the head of the portfolio, Sergei Shoigu, could not avoid the preventive detention that a Moscow court ordered him this Wednesday for at least the next two months. .
Arrested on Tuesday night by the Federal Security Service (FSB, Russian acronym for the successor body to the Soviet KGB), the Russian Investigative Committee charges Ivanov with the crime of receiving a “large bribe” (no less than a million rubles, equivalent to 10 thousand euros) which the Penal Code punishes with up to 15 years in prison.
Along with him, three more people are also detained, including his partner, Sergei Borodin, owner of 18 construction companies that benefited from contracts with the Ministry of Defense.
Ivanov’s fall from grace, political analysts agree, seems to have more delicate implications than the already embarrassing arrest of an alleged corrupt member of an army dedicated to the “special military operation” that has now lasted 2 years and two months in Ukraine.
What is surprising – in the opinion of a wide spectrum of observers, from Tatiana Stanovaya, a critic of the Kremlin, to Sergei Markov, a pro-government political scientist – is not Ivanov’s arrest, but that it has occurred precisely now, just a few hours after appearing in the television screens at a meeting of the army’s senior staff on the situation at the front, chaired by who is considered their great protector, Mi
