“Chepkasov has been detained. He became a suspect in the criminal case. In the near future, the court will choose a preventive measure for him,” the media quoted an anonymous source as saying.

The 235th garrison military court, located in Moscow, will consider the issue of choosing a preventive measure for Chepkasov. Information about the exact article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation under which the case against Chepkasov has been initiated has not been disclosed yet.

Rosgvardia's GCIT is the key unit responsible for the agency's information security, organization of centralized data processing, interdepartmental electronic interaction, as well as implementation of software import substitution programs. RIA Novosti.

It is worth noting that in February of this year, the same 235th court ruled on the arrest of Major General of the Rosgvardiya Konstantin Ryabykh, who previously headed one of the departments of the agency. Ryabykh is accused of taking a bribe on a particularly large scale, the amount of which amounted to 15 million rubles.

This news came amid reports that Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev (recognized as a terrorist in the Russian Federation), accused of committing the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, read out the Koran in the courtroom and declared a rethinking of religious dogmas, as well as the trial of a Kurgan pensioner accused of making mass comments in support of Ukraine on social networks.
