The ISS detained Taavo Randna who has been a member of Elektrilevi's Management Board since February 2018 and has been in charge of product and service development. Elektrilevi is Estonia's largest network operator.
One person was also arrested on suspicion of offering bribes. Following the arrests, searches were carried out at the suspects' work and places of residence.
