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 was accused of providing funds to deliberately support the activities of an extremist group (Article 361-2 of the Criminal Code) — blogger Anton Motolko. Motolko denied this accusation.

He is expected to be released in June 2025.
