    Beliatsky partially admitted his guilt and agreed to a deal with the investigation; he was placed under house arrest.

    Ogiyenko says he is not guilty and has been detained until 27 November.

    What?

      Everyone is guilty of corruption. So, you can arrest anyone for it whenever you want. Maybe he admitted to doing what literally everyone does, but still thinks he’s innocent by Russian standards.

        It’s probably safer to be corrupt, so the rest of the crew doesn’t think you’re going to rat them out.

      In the same way all of Putin other adversaries are locked up, committed suicide by “falling off a building,” multiple “self inflicted gunshot wounds to the head,” airplane malfunctions in the form of a middle strike…I’m sure he “admitted his guilt.” The veil has fallen, and he needs people to blame. Just so happened to be this guy to assign all the blame to.
