The court dismissed the cases against the SOVA center and its director

In Moscow, Natalia Chukanova, Justice of the Peace of Court District No. 387 of the Basmanny District, terminated the administrative case against the Sova Information and Analytical Center and its director Alexander Verkhovsky. This was reported on the website of the center.

Cases under the article on the implementation of the activities of an “undesirable organization” (20.33 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) were closed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The administrative protocols were drawn up in September 2017 due to links on the website to the former donors of the Owl: NED and the Soros Foundation, which are included in the register of "undesirable organizations". More than three months have passed since the discovery of the links, and the case was closed.
