The body was discovered in the individual's personal vehicle with a gunshot wound. Authorities are currently investigating the case to determine the cause and circumstances surrounding the death.
While officials have not yet released the name of the deceased, sources suggest that the former minister had previously been dismissed by President Vladimir Putin. However, no official statement has confirmed a connection between the dismissal and the apparent shooting.
