Ivanov filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Defense for ignoring a request to be sent to his

Former Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Timur Ivanov, convicted of embezzlement and withdrawal of about 3.9 billion rubles, filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Defense, the Moscow military Enlistment Office and the Unified Selection Point for military service under the contract. This was reported on February 19 by TASS with reference to the documents.

"I ask you to recognize as illegal the inaction of the administrative defendants, expressed in the failure to send a written response to my request to conclude a contract for military service in the free military zone within the time limit established by law, to oblige the defendants to take actions to select me for military service under the contract and conclude a contract with me," the petition says sent to the Meshchansky Court of Moscow.

According to the documents, Ivanov applied to a Single selection point for military service under a contract in Moscow with a statement of his desire to conclude a contract for any military position in his military area. The letter was sent by mail and received by the addressee in November 2025, but the plaintiff did not receive a response. In this regard, he asks the court to recognize the inaction of the departments as illegal.

State the guilt: Timur Ivanov denies embezzlement of 4 billion rubles

The Moscow City Court began to consider the merits of the case of the former deputy defense Minister.

On January 22, the Prosecutor General's Office appealed the decision of the Presnensky Court of Moscow on a claim for the seizure of property of Ivanov and his relatives worth more than 1.2 billion rubles. Later, the Moscow City Court overturned the decision to turn Ivanov's property into state revenue.

On November 26, 2025, the former deputy minister transferred the Pankratovo estate in the Tver Region worth more than 800 million rubles to the state revenue. At the same time, the court declared him bankrupt. Ivanov's father challenged the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office and asked not to seize the two motorcycles that were given to him by his son.

The former deputy minister was detained on April 23, 2024 on charges of accepting a bribe. According to investigators, Ivanov entered into a criminal conspiracy with the heads of contractors working at the facilities of the Ministry of Defense, and concluded contracts with them in exchange for personal rewards. In July, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison and fined 100 million rubles.
