    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.

      Those are two different people. One partially admitted his guilt and was placed under house arrest, the other says he is not guilty.

      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.

        Most likely this - partly at least. There’s probably institutional fuckery that would be revealed if they charged him any other way, so they charge him with a known crime that everyone is complicit in. Everyone knows that everyone does it so it isn’t a lie, but then they also know that he’s being charged this way in order to avoid the real problem of the fuckery. The fuckery is also probably tied to more important and wealthier people who will not be charged, so of course he gets to be the fall guy.
