An official from the regional administration was detained at home early in the morning on September 30, with riot police present. A member of parliament in the State Duma, Oleg Mikhailov, announced via a messaging channel that the arrest happened just as the official was about to travel to the Northern Military District area that afternoon, but security forces acted more quickly. The official was escorted to Siktyvkar to provide testimony as part of a criminal case opened under Part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which concerns taking bribes on a large scale. The case centers on allegations involving a significant financial dimension and potential abuse of office. The move to testimony underscores the seriousness with which authorities regard the accusations and the ongoing judicial process surrounding the matter.
