The boss of Carlsberg’s Russian business and a top manager have been arrested after the Kremlin took control of the beer company in the country.
Denis Sherstennikov and Anton Rogachevsky, bosses at Carlsberg’s Russian subsidiary Baltika Breweries, were detained on Wednesday.
It comes after Carlsberg terminated its business in Russia last month due to the state taking over Baltika in July.

“It is appalling that the efforts of the Russian state to justify their illegal takeover of our business in Russia has now evolved into targeting innocent employees,” the company said in a statement.
It added the safety of its employees, including those in Russia, “has always been our main priority” and said it would “do what we can to help the employees under these difficult circumstances”.
Last month, the boss of Carlsberg, Jacob Aarup-Andersen, said the Kremlin had “stolen our business in Russia”.
The Danish brewer was in the process of selling Baltika Breweries as it looked to leave the Russian market, before the government seized control of the company.
Following the arrests, Carlsberg said: “Up until the introduction of external management by the Russian state, Baltika has acted in accordance with the law and the policies guiding all companies in the Carlsberg Group.”
