I ask you to honestly investigate the case of Ilya Sachkov and release him, ”she said.
Sachkova stressed that this is “not even about the fate of an individual, but about trust in the state”.
On September 29, the Lefortovo Court of Moscow arrested for two months the founder of Group-IB, Ilya Sachkov, who is suspected of high treason.
As TASS reported, citing a source, the arrest of the man may be related to the criminal case of former FSB officers Dmitry Dokuchaev and Sergei Mikhailov, who were previously convicted of treason.
