Baza Head Editor Gleb Trifonov Formally Charged With Bribery
Gleb Trifonov, editor-in-chief of the Telegram news channel Baza, is charged with bribery. He was taken into custody Tuesday following police searches of his home and the outlet’s office.
Trifonov, who has led Baza since 2022, was taken into custody Tuesday following police searches of his home and the outlet’s office in Moscow.
A TASS source said Trifonov and Baza producer Tatyana Lukyanova were both charged with bribery, allegations they deny.
“After my client was held for about 20 hours, first outside, then inside the Central Administrative District Investigative Committee building, he was officially charged with bribery,” Trifonov’s lawyer, Alexei Mikhalchik, confirmed with TASS.
