Former police major Alexei Dymovsky, who became famous throughout Russia thanks to a video message to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin with complaints about working conditions, was arrested in Novorossiysk by decision of the Primorsky District Court. Human rights activist Vadim Karastelev, representing the interests of the former policeman, said that according to the court's reasoning, Dymovsky was arrested for threatening law enforcement officers who were investigating his case, Interfax reports.

Dymovsky is accused of fraud committed using his official position. According to investigators, he embezzled 27 thousand rubles allocated for special events. The former major claims that he has documents confirming the correct use of these funds, which were spent on control purchases of drugs from suspected drug dealers.

Before going to court, Dymovsky posted a new appeal on the Internet, in which he called the case brought against him political and ordered.
