The declaration came as something of a surprise due to the very public nature of Serdyukov’s ouster from the Ministry of Defense in November 2012. He was sacked after large scale real-estate fraud was uncovered at state-owned defense logistics contractor, Oboronservice.
Он был уволен после раскрытия крупных махинаций с недвижимостью, имевших место в Оборонсервисе, холдинге, подконтрольном министерству обороны.
