Vladimir Putin has continued his Kremlin reshuffle by ousting a military general, who was stripped from his bed and arrested by armed police in the early hours of the morning.
Officers in balaclavas used crowbars to smash their way into the home of Lt-Gen Yuri Kuznetsov’s home at 5am, dragging him out of bed and arresting on “criminal charges over state secrets”.
The leader of the Russian Defense Ministry’s personnel official was then “taken away for interrogation” in the latest of Putin’s cabinet purge. His arrest, however, is reportedly in connection with his previous job guarding military state secrets.
Raids of his home reportedly uncovered the equivalent of £875,000 cash in rubles and other foreign currency, as well as “gold coins, collectible watches and luxury items”.
