On August 26, 2025, Kuvshinov was arrested on charges of embezzlement of more than 57 million rubles, which were allocated for the purchase of medical equipment.

According to the investigation, in 2022, the military medical organization signed a contract with Delrus and TDA-Service companies for the purchase and further supply of equipment totaling about 100 million rubles. However, Kuvshinov, acting in collusion with representatives of the companies, significantly inflated prices, which allowed him to steal about 57 million rubles.

Kuvshinov pleaded guilty in the case of embezzlement. In addition, at a court hearing on March 27, the ex-general apologized to the Russian Defense Ministry. He said that before making his confession, he turned to his confessor and repented. According to him, this is what prompted him to turn himself in.
