In the Krasnodar Territory, police came to the place of registration of the former host of the Navalny Live channel, Timur Karimov. He connects the visit with the “money laundering” case at FBK. Karimov himself told OVD-Info about this.

Security forces interviewed the owner of the house where Karimov is registered. Two policemen and one man in civilian clothes were interested in Karimov’s whereabouts, whether the woman was communicating with him and “why a person under investigation was registered in her house.”

In early September, Karimov received a call from the investigative committee and was informed of the need to appear for questioning as a witness in the case against the FBK. However, Karimov did not go to a meeting with the security forces.

On September 12, searches of supporters of Alexei Navalny and his headquarters took place in at least forty cities; according to the politician’s associates, at approximately 200 addresses. After the searches, many activists were interrogated as witnesses in the case of money laundering (Article 174 of the Criminal Code).
Searches took place not only at Navalny’s supporters, but also, for example, at representatives of the Movement for the Protection of Voters’ Rights “Voice,” as well as human rights activists and environmental activists.
The case of money laundering in connection with the financing of the Anti-Corruption Foundation founded by Navalny was opened on August 3. The investigation believes that in 2016–2018, a group of people, including FBK employees, received more than 75.5 million rubles from unknown sources, and then, disguising their criminal origin, deposited this money into FBK accounts.
