Additional information:

Pyotr Verzilov was arrested after a live interview at “Echo of Moscow”. “I’m heading to the 6th search with state prosecutors, speeding by the Kremlin on the Investigative Committee’s special vehicle. In the history of the modern Russia, I can’t recall the scale of such repetitive searches – every day, day after day- dedicated to one person. How long is it going to go on?”- wrote Verzilov in his Twitter account. Soon after prosecutors presented two more search warrants in Verzilov’s mother’s flat and her friend’s flat.
