Russian reporter Ivan Golunov, who maintained his innocence and claimed to be the victim of a set-up, was placed under house arrest on 8 June.

Russian reporter Ivan Golunov left the building of Interior Ministry's main investigative department on Tuesday after Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev said that the journalist will be released as charges against him have been dropped.

His colleagues, however, questioned the credibility of the evidence.
