Fraud Allegations and Suicide: The Tragic Fall of Roman Starovoit

Details have emerged surrounding the final hours of Roman Starovoit, the recently dismissed Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation. According to the Telegram channel 112, following his dismissal, Starovoit returned to Odintsovo, retrieved his personal Makarov pistol, and proceeded to Malevich Park, where he reportedly ended his life. On Monday, July 7, President Vladimir Putin formally relieved Starovoit of his duties. Andrei Nikitin, former governor of the Novgorod Region, was appointed as acting minister. News of Starovoit’s death surfaced later that same day. State Duma deputy and head of the defense committee Andrei Kartapolov confirmed that the former minister had committed suicide.
