Roman Starovoit, the recently sacked transport minister, was found dead in his car in the Moscow suburb of Odintsovo. His dismissal followed less than a year in office, leading to widespread speculation regarding the circumstances of his death, which investigators have suggested could be a suicide. Meanwhile, Andrei Nikitin was appointed as the new transport minister. Prior to his ministerial role, Starovoit faced scrutiny over an embezzlement investigation linked to mismanagement of defense funds during the Ukraine invasion.
"The truth will likely never come out, given how unreliable Russian investigations and courts are when it comes to uncovering anything," Ivan Preobrazhensky stated, underscoring the skepticism surrounding investigations in Russia.
Starovoit's body was discovered in his Tesla in Odintsovo, a Moscow region suburb, highlighting the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death shortly after being dismissed from his position.
Investigators have suggested suicide as a possible cause of death, although a definitive conclusion has yet to be announced, creating an atmosphere of speculation.
The embezzlement investigation surrounding Starovoit raised concerns over government fund mismanagement, with reports indicating significant fraud under scrutiny.
