MOSCOW, July 4 The investigation believes that the «earnings» of the former commander of the 58th Army of the Russian Armed Forces, General Ivan Popov's fine in the fraud case was 1 million rubles, said his lawyer Sergei Buinovsky.
«The investigation believes that only one million rubles reached Popov, which was transferred to his bank account by the deceased general (Oleg Tsokov — ed.),» the lawyer said. 
Earlier in court, the investigator stated that the general was accused of theft by an organized group “together with Tsokov and Moiseev.” Buinovsky clarified that, according to the investigation, the subsequently deceased Lieutenant General Tsokov was involved in Popov’s fraud.
The 235th Garrison Military Court reported that Moiseev S.V. was arrested on the same day as Popov, on charges of fraud and abuse of power. 
According to investigators, the general was involved in the theft in 2023 of more than 1.7 thousand tons of rolled metal products purchased by the military-civil administration of the Zaporozhye region as part of the provision of humanitarian aid. These materials, worth over 130 million rubles, were intended for the equipment of engineering defensive structures on the line of combat contact.
Today Buinovsky reported that Popov had been charged with a new charge — official forgery, and the amount of damage was reduced and became “just over one hundred million rubles.”
Popov stated in court that in the Northern Military District zone he was not engaged in theft, as the investigation claims, but in building a defense, which became “the turning point of the entire war.” He also claimed that Tsokov lent him money.
