Denis Putilov is a former Russian major general who recently made headlines after being convicted of accepting a substantial bribe of 10 million rubles related to defense contracts. As the former head of the armored vehicle service of the Central Military District, he was found guilty of corruption during the execution of state defense orders and sentenced to 8.5 years in a strict regime penal colony. His actions were part of a broader investigation into corruption within the Russian Ministry of Defense, which has seen several high-profile arrests among military officials.
