The defendants stole more than 25 million rubles from the Ministry of Defense and the convention and exhibition center.

On August 21, the prosecutor asked the court to find the Major General guilty and requested 12.5 years in prison in the case of receiving a bribe. In February 2022, the Moscow Garrison Military Court sentenced him to 4.5 years in prison for embezzlement. Subsequently, the Moscow City Court released the man after he testified in the case of General Vadim Shamarin. The court replaced his unserved term in the colony with correctional labor.

According to investigators, Oglobin received a bribe from representatives of JSC Perm Telephone Plant Telta in the period from 2016 to 2021. For this, the defendant promised general patronage in the execution of a multimillion-dollar state defense order for the supply of communication devices for the needs of the Ministry of Defense.
