“Materials have been received on the investigator’s petition to choose a preventive measure in the form of detention until December 24, Sukhanov and Kuzmina, both defendants,” RIA Novosti told the court.
In early October, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the police had detained the owners and administrators of Telegram channels that published fakes about businessmen and high-ranking officials and demanded money for removing this information.
Later, a RT source confirmed that searches were being carried out in the house of TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, which are related to the case of her commercial director Kirill Sukhanov, who is suspected of extortion.
Sobchak is also involved in the extortion case as a suspect.
On October 26, information appeared that the TV presenter in a car crossed the border with Belarus, where there is no passport control, and headed for Europe.
Through the Vidzy checkpoint, she left for Lithuania.
