Tarmo Anton

Tarmo Anton is a former head of the Ida-Virumaa rescue region in Estonia, recognized for his service with the Red Cross IV class decoration awarded by President Alar Karis just before the full-scale war in Ukraine began. His career took a controversial turn as he became the subject of a criminal investigation for alleged misconduct during his tenure, which led to his resignation from the Estonian Rescue Board. The investigation, initiated by the agency following a disciplinary process, focuses on potential fraudulent activities over several years. As of now, while no formal charges have been filed against him, the Prosecutor's Office is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the allegations.
