The FSB changed the measure of restraint and released from the pre-trial detention center under the recognizance of the 75-year-old employee of the Central Department Store, Viktor Kudryavtsev, accused of state treason. This was announced by his lawyer Ivan Pavlov, reports TASS.
“They have just been released on a recognizance not to leave, he is already going home,” the defender said.
Recall, Kudryavtsev suffered a heart attack, it also suffers from severe chronic diseases. The Human Rights Council, as well as members of the Club July 1, which includes Academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, called for him to mitigate the preventive measure and send him under house arrest.
Earlier, the FSB conducted a search at the Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (TsNIIMASH) in the Korolev Moscow Region. As Kommersant wrote, operational measures were the result of a multi -month investigation into the Stateizman case. Employees of the Institute were suspected of transmitting information about Russian hypersonic weapons, which have a “completely secret”, to foreign special services.
The Lefortovo Court of Moscow authorized the arrest of Kudryavtsev. He was “charged with the transfer of closed information about technologies used in the development of hypersonic aircraft, one of the NATO countries.”
