Konstantin Frolov
Colonel Konstantin Frolov is a former officer in the Russian military, recognized as a recipient of four Orders of Courage. He recently made headlines after being arrested on charges of large-scale fraud involving falsified injuries for monetary compensation. Frolov admitted to his wrongdoing and agreed to cooperate with the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, providing testimony against his superior, Colonel Artem Gorodilov, in a scheme that reportedly involved payments of 3 million rubles for each fabricated injury. Despite his cooperation, he remains in custody due to concerns over his attempts to obstruct the investigation.
