A physicist from Shchelkovo who worked at the 'Roscosmos' institute was arrested on charges of treason. The Meshchansky District Court of Moscow has arrested Kravchuk M.O. under Article 275 (treason), according to a case card on the court's website, which RBC noted.
Consensus
- Maxim Kравчук is a 35-year-old physicist who worked at the Central Scientific Research Institute of Machine Building (TsNIImash), which operates under Roscosmos.
- He was arrested by the Mещанский District Court in Moscow on charges of state treason (Article 274/275 UК).
- The case is classified as secret, and details are not publicly disclosed.
- Kравчук was detained on June 24 — his birthday — and placed under arrest at the end of June.
- He filed an appeal against the detention, with a hearing scheduled for July 29.
- This marks at least the fourth case involving a scientist from TsNIImash accused of state treason since 2019.
