The prosecutor's office of the Krasnodar region closed the criminal case against the head of the local public organization “Youth Group for Tolerance “ETHNIKA” Anastasia Denisova. The story began in 2009 with tax claims against the organization, followed by many hours of inspections at the border, calls for interviews, and attempts to create obstacles when leaving. The culmination was a search, seizure of computers and charges of using unlicensed computer programs “using official position.”
Denisova faced up to 6 years in prison. Now the case has been dropped for lack of evidence of a crime.
