Russian Carlsberg staff arrested after business seized
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. It comes after Carlsberg terminated its business in Russia last month due to the state taking over Baltika in July. 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." As Carlsberg looked to sell its Russian business, the Kremlin took control of Baltika in July under an order signed by President Vladimir Putin.
