In Russia, a sentence was issued for General Galimullin, who was previously wounded in Syria due to gunshot injuries.
In a recent development, Major-General Anvar Galimullin, a former head of the Yelansky Training Center of the Central Military District, has been convicted by a Moscow military court for embezzlement and official forgery. The details of Galimullin's service in Syria and his subsequent injury were reported by our website.
Galimullin, a decorated military officer, served in the Russian Armed Forces, holding ranks within units involved in foreign deployments. During the Russian military intervention in the Syrian civil war, he was deployed to Syria, where he played a crucial role in the logistical and operational management of Russian military assets. His duties included supply chain oversight and ensuring proper resource allocation during the campaign.
However, Galimullin's career took a turn when he was charged with misusing military funds. Specifically, he was accused of embezzlement and forging official documents to cover up financial irregularities, offenses tied to his activities during or connected with the Syrian deployment. The court's ruling did not specify the exact nature of the charges, but it did lead to a decline in his military standing and highlighted issues of corruption within the logistics and administrative domains of Russian military operations abroad.
The court's ruling was reported by TASS news agency, and the sentence for Galimullin includes a fine of 500,000 rubles and a 3-year probation period, suspended. Additionally, he was stripped of his right to hold leadership positions for a period of two years. It remains unclear if Galimullin has appealed the court's ruling.
Colonel in Reserve Yuri Ubogiy, another military officer, was also convicted and received a sentence of 1.5 years suspended. Both Galimullin and Ubogiy were also subjected to travel restrictions.
Galimullin was treated in a Moscow hospital after his injury in Syria, where he suffered a concussion during combat operations when he stepped on a mine. Despite the legal issues, Galimullin is known for his service in Syria and defending Russian interests.
