So, there are now 4 Russians arrested and 1 dead
And it all seems to tie back to the hacking stuff and perhaps the "dossier".
Gotta wonder how it will all pan out.
Moscow spy chief accused of treason over US hacking | World | The Times & The Sunday Times
Quote:
Russia has detained at least four people, including a cybersecurity chief at the FSB spy agency, on charges related to alleged hacking during the US election. They are accused of treason.
Sergei Mikhailov, head of the FSB?s centre for information security, is suspected of providing information about alleged cyberattacks by the Kremlin to an American company called ThreatConnect, according to Novaya Gazeta, the opposition-friendly newspaper.
....................................
Tsargrad, a TV channel with links to the Kremlin, said that Mr Mikhailov was detained in December during a meeting of FSB officials in Moscow. ?Mikhailov was taken from the meeting with a bag on his head,? it said.
Russian media reported that three others have been arrested. Two of them have been identified, including Ruslan Stoyanov, a senior researcher at Kaspersky Lab, a cybersecurity company based in the capital, and Major Dmitri Dokuchaev, who was described as a former hacker. In 2004, he boasted to Russian media about his hacking of an American government website.

Ivan Pavlov, a Russian defence lawyer, confirmed that a number of people had been charged with treason. Treason cases are heard by a closed tribunal.
