MOSCOW, September 29. /TASS/. The founder of the Group-IB cybersecurity company Ilya Sachkov arrested on Tuesday in Moscow for two months on suspicion of high treason, does not admit guilt of passing on secret information to foreign intelligence services, a source in the security agencies told TASS.

"He does not admit the guilt of high treason, which inflicted reputational and national harm to Russia’s interests, or that he cooperated with intelligence services of foreign states," the source said.

Due to the fact that the files on Sachkov’s case are marked as ‘classified’, the source did not disclose any other details. TASS has not yet obtained an official statement from the investigation and the defense of the arrestee.

Earlier, media outlets reported that law enforcement officials raided the Moscow office of Group-IB on Tuesday.
