Ural.Ru Raids and Journalist's Arrest
This week, headlines were dominated by the chaos at Ural.Ru news agency's office in Yekaterinburg, resulting in the arrest of journalist Denis Allayarov and other staff members. Allayarov's been slapped with bribery charges, though he claims it's all a set-up. Keep reading for the full story.
Backroom Deals and Betrayals
Denis Allayarov, the Sverdlovsk region editor of Ural.Ru, was nabbed at his home in Yekaterinburg and is now facing charges for bribing a public official. Andrei Karpov, a former senior police officer and Allayarov's uncle, is also involved in the scandal, accused of misconduct and abuse of power. Allayarov's been locked away until August, but he insists it's all a sham.
Now, let's delve deeper into the raid suspects' arrests, upheavals at Ural.Ru's office, and more.
House Calls and Helicopters
Under the cover of darkness, authorities stormed Allayarov's home and Ural.Ru's editorial office, stopping short of masked men and helicopters. Two more staff members were taken into custody, causing quite the scene and, temporarily, a halt to Ural.Ru's full operations. The agency, employing over 200 people across eight Russian regions, has a rich history of investigative reporting, but things may change after recent events.
