Date set for trial of first of 3 Russian missile scientists accused of treason | Oneindia News
The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries.
The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1.
The St.
Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10.
Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held.
The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China.

In Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s first in-person appearance at a UN Security Council meeting on Moscow’s invasion of his country, he told a special meeting that the Russian veto has rendered the world body “ineffective”. Zelenskyy said that the United Nations was at a dead end regarding aggressions and suggested Russia be stripped of its veto right as one of five permanent members of the post-World War II Security Council as punishment for attacking Ukraine. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sided with the US and blamed Russia for weaponizing hunger. Russia’s Sergei Lavrov responded. Watch here.

China's Restrictions , on iPhones Send , Apple Shares Tumbling.
Al Jazeera reports that shares in Apple plummeted
for the second straight session following the
announcement of strict Chinese restrictions on iPhones. .
The restrictions, which ban iPhones from government
offices and state-backed entities, come amid rising
tensions between the United States and China.
Following the release of a 'Wall Street Journal' report
on the new Chinese policy, shares in the world's biggest
publicly-traded company fell 3.5% on September 6. .
On September 7, shares in Apple
fell an additional 2.8% to reach
$177.79 by late morning trading.
Al Jazeera reports that China has been pushing
locally-made tech products, with technology at the
center of major national security issues with the U.S.
In 2020, 'The Economic Observer' reported that some Chinese government agencies had already implemented a ban on officials using iPhones, citing Apple's strict privacy rules. .
China generates nearly one fifth
of the tech giant's revenue,
making it one of Apple's largest markets. .
This could provide an additional
challenge for the company, as its
revenues from China have already
been negatively impacted by
a challenging macroeconomic
environment in that country, Tom Forte, D.A. Davidson analyst, via Al Jazeera.
According to Patrick O'Hare, a Briefing.com
analyst, China's ban on Apple could have
implications that extend to other tech companies. .
The worry for the market is that, if China
purposely chooses to make business difficult
for a company like Apple, which has a good
and important working relationship in
China, then it can do so for a lot of other
U.S. companies doing business in China, Patrick O'Hare, Briefing.com analyst, via Al Jazeera.
