Andrey Marchenko Faces Bribery Fine

Radio Svoboda Moscow 16d16d Impact 3

Andrey Marchenko has been expelled from the Mozhaysky Military Space Academy. He was previously detained in late 2025. Authorities claim Marchenko's associate was aware of his fraudulent schemes and actively participated in them. The arrest is being characterized by some as a formality to preserve assets. Soldiers associated with Marchenko claim his wife was aware of his fraudulent schemes to avoid military service. The schemes allegedly involved faking injuries, such as breaking limbs, to secure medical discharge categories. Prosecutors have appealed the February 2026 bribery conviction of Andrey Marchenko, arguing the fine was too lenient. Bailiffs have seized assets Marchenko obtained through his actions. Many military personnel involved in the case remain missing. Marchenko was prepared for a fine in 2026 related to the funds he solicited.
