Investigative editor-in-chief Denis Bigus said that a week before the publication’s team arrived, a man came to the complex and was very interested in the restaurant. Just not the menu, but where the tree, speakers and heaters are located.
He booked the same rooms as ours and a sauna for December 26 (the day before our arrival), noted Bihus.Info.
According to him, the situation is even more vile than it seemed: cameras were probably installed in all the employees’ hotel rooms and even in the sauna.
One person booked all staff rooms the day before check-in and a few days after check-out. This means that it was not only the investigation agency employees who were recorded at the recreation complex.
Background
Recently, a video appeared on the little-known resource “Narodnaya Pravda”, where employees of the publication Bihus. Info use drugs. The founder of the project, Denis Bigus, said that his team was illegally monitored for several months.
This is not the first attack on journalists recently. A few days ago, a number of anonymous Telegram channels began a campaign to discredit investigator Yuri Nikolov. Earlier, anti-corruption activists Mikhail Zhernakov and Alexander Lemenov came under attack.
