The declaration came as something of a surprise due to the very public nature of Serdyukov ’ s ouster from the Ministry of Defense in November 2012 . He was sacked after large scale real-estate fraud was uncovered at state-owned defense logistics contractor , Oboronservice .
Он был уволен после раскрытия крупных махинаций с недвижимостью , имевших место в Оборонсервисе , холдинге , подконтрольном министерству обороны .
