Life magazine journalist Tamerlan Bigaev, accused of being involved in the extortion case from Russia's state-owned defence conglomerate Rostec, is seen inside a defendant's glass cage during a verdict hearing at the Khamovniki District court in Moscow, Russia. The investigation claims that Bigaev, commercial director for Russian media personality and 2018 presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak, Kirill Sukhanov and former editor-in-chief of Tatler magazine Arian Romanovsky extorted 11 million rubles from Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov to delete certain posts published on the Telegram channel Tushite Svet (Lights Out!).
