MOSCOW, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Ilya Sachkov, the chief executive of Russian cybersecurity company Group IB, is suspected of handing over information to foreign intelligence services, but denies the allegation, the TASS news agency cited a security source as saying on Wednesday.

Russia has arrested Sachkov on suspicion of state treason and will hold him in custody for two months, a Moscow court said earlier on Wednesday. (Reporting by Anton Kolodyazhnyy; Writing by Tom Balmforth; Editing by Alison Williams)
