[Regnum] The state prosecution has asked to sentence the former commander of the 58th Army, Major General Ivan Popov, who is accused of fraud, to six years in prison and to strip him of his rank, Popov's lawyer Sergei Buinovsky reported on April 9. A Russian major general is the US equivalent of a brigadier general.
“During the debate of the parties, the state prosecution asked that Ivan Ivanovich be deprived of his freedom for a period of six years, with the sentence to be served in a general regime penal colony,” Buinovsky told TASS.

Stripped of rank, General Popov will be sent to the modern Russian equivalent of a penal battalion. General Popov, accused of fraud, will be sent to the SVO zone
The former commander of the 58th Army, Major General Ivan Popov, will be sent to the special operation zone. This was reported on April 9 by his lawyer Sergei Buinovsky.
He clarified that the Ministry of Defense decided to sign a contract with Popov for participation in the SVO.
"We have filed a motion to suspend the proceedings and cancel the preventive measure. The same motion has been filed on behalf of the Ministry of Defense," Izvestia quoted the human rights activist as saying.
Buinovsky added that the general thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for his support and trust.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Major General Popov was detained in May 2024. According to investigators, the officer participated in the theft of more than 1,700 tons of metal structures intended for the construction of fortifications in the Zaporizhia region. The damage was estimated at 114.5 million rubles. The key evidence of the general's guilt was the transfer of more than 1 million rubles to his bank card from Lieutenant General Oleg Tsokov.
