The Daghestani health ministry was subjected to a raid as part of an ongoing anti-corruption inquiry. Led by figures including Health Minister Yaroslav Glazov, the operation involved the seizure of documents from the ministry’s offices. This occurred two weeks following the removal of Glazov’s brother, Kirill Glazov, from his parliamentary position due to alleged corruption violations.
Security forces conducted the searches on Thursday, and Russian state media reported that investigative actions were also undertaken involving the health minister. The precise nature of these investigations remains undisclosed. The raids followed the Daghestan Parliament’s decision to revoke Kirill Glazov’s mandate.
Prosecutors have accused Kirill Glazov of breaching anti-corruption rules, specifically citing incomplete financial disclosures and the appointment of a business associate as auditor for Daghestan’s Accounts Chamber. Law enforcement in Daghestani have uncovered evidence of extravagant purchases, including a Toyota Land Cruiser 2000 valued at ₽4 million ($50,000) and a BMW X7 costing ₽6 million ($75,000), significantly exceeding the Glazov family’s reported income. Furthermore, investigators suspect Kirill Glazov and associates were involved in the misappropriation of ₽134 million ($1.7 million) intended for COVID-19 test procurement in 2021.
Currently, neither Kirill Glazov nor his brother Yaroslav Glazov have been formally detained. The situation highlights concerns within the Daghestani health sector.
