Sacked Russian transport minister found dead in his car
Hours after Russia’s dismissed Minister of Transportation, President Vladimir Putin fired him, was found dead with a fiery wound in his car outside Moscow.
A presidential decree previously published on Monday, there was no reason for the dismissal of Rome Starovoit a year later.
Political analysts have increased the possibility that it may have been rejected in relation to an investigation into corruption in the region where it was once carried out.
Reuters, a source of transportation industry refusing to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue, Starovoid’s position, in the Kursk region to reinforce the Ukrainian border of Russia to focus on the funds allocated to focus on the funds, he said.
There were contradictory reports about the timing of Starovoit’s death.
State researchers said on Monday that the real hypothesis is his own life, he said.
Questioning great crimes, Russia’s investigation committee said he was working to determine the exact conditions.
Various Russian media, law enforcement resources were found next to a Starovoit’s body in his car.
Before he was appointed as Minister of Transport in May 2024, Starovoit had been the governor of the Kursk region for nearly five years.
Three months after the Minister of Transportation, the Ukrainian troops have been the largest foreign attack on the Russian region since the Second World War, and the border against Kursk, and only after violent fighting and widespread demolition.
In April this year, as Starovoid’s governor Alexei Smirnov, his successor was accused of money allocated for defense for the defense for the accusations that funds were stolen for border defenses and Kursk was more vulnerable to the Ukrainian attack.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “If there is a loss of confidence, there is a loss of confidence.”
“There is no such statement in the (Kremlin) decree.”
The dismissal of Starovoit is experiencing significant difficulties for Russia’s transportation sector, as the war in Ukraine lasted for the fourth year.
Russia’s aviation industry lacks spare parts and the country’s largest employer, Russian railways, grappling with rising interest costs as high rates necessary to prevent higher inflation by war.
Kremlin said that Andrei Nikitin, a former governor of the Novgorod region, was appointed as the Minister of Acting and published hands stuck with Putin in Kremlin.
“Currently, according to the President’s opinion, Andrei Nikitin’s professional qualities and experience will enable the president to fulfill the duties and functions of this agency,”
Two transportation industries sources, Starovoid and Nikitin with Nikitin’s plans to change last month since the International Economic Forum in St Petersburg said.
The Ministry of Transport refused to comment on Monday.
In his meeting with Putin, Nikitin talked about working on the great task of digitalizing Russia’s transportation industry to reduce cargo bottlenecks and provide smoother flowing flows.
