26.01.2024 Перед тюрьмой у него была проблема с ногами, возможно суставы - он ходил с подлокотным костылем. Жаловался, что состояние ухудшилось после ШИЗО, куда его помешали накануне. Когда его вели на ПКТ у него костыль забрали. Видели как он выходил, держась рукой за стену общежития. Из разговоров с ним он сказал, что его жену убили, а дочь похитили (намекая, видимо, что его жена умерла в больнице из-за низкого уровня медицины, а дочь, оставленную без попечителей, отправили в интернат).

Press Secretary of A1.

He was detained on December 10 and sentenced to administrative arrest. But after his release, he was not released. It is known that the security forces beat him.

After his arrest, a "repentant video" appeared on pro-government channels, in which he said that he allegedly passed on information related to his professional activities to third parties. But the company then stated that Nikolai did not have access to client data.

The trial was held behind closed doors, but it became known that Nikolai Bredelev was found not guilty under Part 2 of Article 424 of the Criminal Code (Abuse of power or official authority) and acquitted due to lack of evidence of participation in the commission of a crime.

He is expected to be released in June 2025.
