Treason Charges Against Kaspersky Expert Tied to Claims from 2010

[Bot]

New reports indicate that the treason charges brought against Ruslan Stoyanov, head of the computer incidents investigation team at Kaspersky Lab, as well as two other officers of the Federal Security Service in Russia, are connected to allegations made by a local businessman some seven years ago.

Reuters reports that sources connected with the investigation, as well as the Pavel Vrublevsky, the businessman in question, the Kaspersky expert, and the other two state security officers are suspected of passing secrets to U.S. firm Verisign, as well as other unidentified American companies. The information eventually ended with US intelligence agencies looking to gather more info on Russia.

It seems that the investigation into the actions of the three accused individuals is connected to accusations made in 2010 by Russian businessman Pavel Vrublevsky, founder of ChronoPay, an online payment company. He claims he recently learned that the arrests were a response to his allegations that Stoyanov and Mikhailov were passing secrets to American firms.
