Ivanov, the former deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry, was charged with a second sentence.

Investigative actions in the second case of former Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov have been completed. The charge was upgraded to a more serious one. This was reported on September 12 by TASS with reference to law enforcement agencies.

According to the agency, the investigation into the criminal case involving Timur Ivanov and two other people has entered its final phase. The former deputy head of the defense department is charged with three counts of receiving large-scale bribes, money laundering on a large scale, as well as illegal possession and manufacture of weapons.

In the near future, Ivanov, businessmen Sergei Borodin and Alexander Fomin, as well as lawyers of the defendants in the case, will be officially charged with final charges, the agency's source said.

Another law enforcement source added that the new accusation of illegal arms trafficking was due to the fact that Ivanov, "as the expert examination established, redid the barrels himself."
