Rosselkhoznadzor Head Detained for Bribery in Primorye
Law enforcement officers conducted raids at the Rosselkhoznadzor office in Primorsky Krai.
On February 3, investigators conducted raids at the Primorsky Interregional Office of Rosselkhoznadzor. According to a source in law enforcement agencies cited by VLADIVOSTOK1.RU, the head of the agency, Dmitry Zdanovich, is under investigation.
According to the source, the head of the regional Rosselkhoznadzor, who did not report to work today, is suspected of taking bribes. Dmitry Zdanovich has been detained by the FSB for Primorsky Krai.
The source suggested that the new episode of the «mask show» (dramatic law enforcement raids) could be a continuation of a systematic audit of the agency«s work as part of a corruption crime case.
The Primorsky Interregional Office of Rosselkhoznadzor was previously at the center of a major corruption scandal involving its former head, Yuliy Ivanov, several of his subordinates, and associated businessmen. At the time, the case involved multi-million ruble bribes for providing patronage to businesses.
It is known that Ivanov managed to avoid criminal liability — he signed a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry to participate in a special military operation and subsequently received a state award. Meanwhile, the other participants in the corruption scheme were convicted in 2025 and sentenced to long prison terms.
No other details of the investigative actions are available yet. Official comments from law enforcement agencies and the agency itself have not yet been received.
