Gorbunov began to cooperate with the investigation and operatives, and he was taken out of the pre-trial detention center for some “operational and investigative actions,” and in such a way that he did not spend the night in the isolation cell.
According to the source, two months later the press in Kresty, after an unsuccessful appeal in court regarding the suppression at the end of August, refusal to send him to the SVO, Gorbunov announced his desire to cooperate with the investigation and expressed his readiness to provide access to the “Prigozhin archive.” The latter was famous for its own service of total surveillance, wiretapping and collection of compromising evidence on various prominent persons, as the Cheka-OGPU previously wrote about.
