Vladimir Putin ‘fires two police generals’ over arrest of journalist Ivan Golunov

Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, has fired two police generals over the discredited criminal case against journalist Ivan Golunov, the Kremlin said.

Golunov, known for his work probing corruption, was arrested last week after law enforcement said they found drugs on him.

His case sparked public outcry and critics said he was framed because of his work.

Police made a rare U-turn on Tuesday when they dropped the charges against Golunov and let him walk free.
