That could happen in any country. That's a corporate dispute. Rambler sold their NGINX "copyright rights" to a shady law firm (Lynwood Investments CY Ltd).

That's not a corporate displute. It's probable cause in criminal law. Ngnix founders are already detained btw.

  They are currently being interrogated, not detained.

    If you can't walk away from an interrogation, you've been detained.

      Maximum continuous time for an interrogation in Russia - 4 hours, after which there should be a pause of at least an hour. Maximum total time is 8 hours within a single day. Maximum time for a detention is 48 hours until the court's decision. The difference is how much time one would have to actively prepare his defence themselves, not via advocates.

        You could use those 'rules' instead of toilet paper - not even half a year ago a ton of people were detained longer and without proper accommodations like food, water and place to sleep. Nothing happened afterwards, maybe in a couple years un human rights council will make government give those people some money, but that's it.

        It works like this: you detain a person for 48 hours, then release him and when he is at the exit, detain him once more. Repeat as needed. Probably you would need to find another formal reason for a detainment (I'm not sure though), but seems it is not very difficult. They did something like just this summer, when protests was going against infringements with voting.

    There was police raid in the office. After that founders were captured and brought to interrogation. If it's not "detained" then I don't know what any other meaning this word may have.

      They were released and are at their homes now.

Anything can happen anywhere, but it's the height of naivety to call the general international risk of this of this (government takeover of your shit) happening anywhere vs Russia comparable. It's way more likely to happen in russia and anyone who's worked there can tell you that.
