Additional information:

According to Martsinovich, a representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs visited him in the detention centre on 24 September. In addition to the questions about the pending criminal case, the police officer wondered why the journalist did not want to leave the country, as Svetlana Tikhanovskaya did. He tried to negotiate with him by offering to release him from the detention centre (he will stay as a witness only) on exchange to the information about Badgekov.
