Russian Transport Minister Found Dead Hours After Being Sacked by Putin

Roman Starovoit, Russia’s Transport Minister, has been found dead just hours after President Vladimir Putin removed him from office.

The dismissal, which came on Monday, was announced without an official explanation, though Starovoit had only held the position for about a year.

Political sources suggest his sacking may be linked to an ongoing corruption investigation in the region he previously governed.

According to reports, authorities discovered his lifeless body inside his Tesla, with a pistol found nearby.
