According to CoinMeta, as reported by bits.media, the founder of Russia's largest mining company, BitRiver, Igor Runets, has been transferred from house arrest to detention pending trial by a court in Moscow, Zamoskvoretsky. He will need to be detained in a detention center for at least two months. The charges are based on Article 159, Part 4 of the Russian Federal Criminal Code, and the investigation indicates that the case involves the supply of mining equipment, causing nearly 100 million rubles in losses to companies under the EN group. The court approved the detention request on the grounds that Igor Runets may influence witnesses.
