MOSCOW, April 10 (Reuters) - A Russian court on Friday ordered Oleg Roldugin, an investigative journalist for independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, to be placed in pre-trial detention until May 10.

Roldugin was detained on Thursday in a case involving alleged misuse of personal data following a search of his home and a raid by masked security agents on the offices of Novaya Gazeta, one of Russia’s best-known investigative outlets.
