A witness testified in court about an illegal request made by the uncle of journalist Denis Allayarov.

      At the Verkh-Isetsky District Court in Yekaterinburg on Friday, November 14, the latest hearing was held in the case of Denis Allayarov, head of the Sverdlovsk bureau of the URA.RU agency. The journalist is accused of giving a bribe to an official to obtain confidential police information.

      According to the prosecution, Allayarov asked his uncle, Andrey Karpov, by phone — who served as head of the criminal investigation unit of Police Precinct No. 10 — to, for a fee, send him daily operational summaries for subsequent publication of news based on them, writes KP‑Yekaterinburg.

      On Friday, November 14, the court questioned the duty officer of Precinct No. 10, Yevgeny Revnivtsev, and the assistant duty officer, Artem Sizikov. Both confirmed that Karpov allegedly, for official purposes, asked that the summaries be sent to his official and personal email addresses.

      "The summaries contain information about crimes, surnames, given names and addresses. These data are not to be disseminated," Revnivtsev told the court.

      The next hearing will take place on Friday, November 21.

      According to the investigation, to obtain the police summaries Denis Allayarov transferred 120,000 rubles to his uncle Andrey Karpov from March 2024 to May 2025. He has been charged under part 3 of Article 291 of the Russian Criminal Code ("Giving a bribe to an official"). The journalist denies his guilt.

      Andrey Karpov is charged under Articles 290 of the Russian Criminal Code ("Receiving a bribe") and 286 ("Exceeding official powers"). The court placed him under house arrest. It is reported that he may have entered into a pretrial agreement.

      Five years ago, the head of the press service of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Sverdlovsk Region, Alexander Levchenko, told Uralweb that people from prestigious professions, not only hardened criminals, end up in correctional colonies. At that time, among the convicts was, in particular, a camera operator from one of Yekaterinburg's TV channels. Levchenko said he was surprised when he saw him in a prison uniform. "Convicts do not fall to us from the sky," the FSIN representative noted.
