The commander of the Leningrad Naval Base was sent to pre-trial detention in a bribery case

As Fontanka writes, Suglobov was detained on October 21 in Kronstadt red-handed while receiving 1.5 million rubles. According to the publication, he is accused of receiving a bribe on an especially large scale.

Along with him, the head of the naval engineering service of the Ministry of Defense’s Federal State Institution in Lomonosov, Lieutenant Colonel Alexey Ionov, was detained. He was charged with a similar offense, and the court also sent him to pre-trial detention.

According to investigators, since the end of 2025, the officers systematically received money from businessmen for the illegal transfer of the territory of the Leningrad Naval Base for commercial use and general patronage. The case materials state that the entrepreneurs extracted sand and crushed stone in the military town of Lomonosov, and then filled the resulting pits with construction waste, saving on its disposal.

Suglobov and Ionov are accused of several episodes of receiving bribes amounting to millions of rubles. Under this article, they face up to 15 years in prison.

In April 2023, Suglobov held the post of chief of staff of the Leningrad Naval Base, and in 2025 he became its commander; at that time he was 45 years old. Earlier, he commanded the 128th Brigade of Surface Ships of the Baltic Fleet, the patrol ship Yaroslav Mudry, and the large landing ship Korolev.

In 2012, under his command, Yaroslav Mudry completed a 200-day voyage across the North Atlantic, the Northern and Mediterranean Seas, and covered more than 15,000 nautical miles.
