In Moscow, on the way to the office at the exit from the metro, an employee of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, Ruslan Shaveddinov, was detained. He announced this on Twitter.
Now he is being taken to the Danilovsky police station. The reason for the detention is still unknown.
Shaveddinov was already detained several days ago, on October 12, at the entrance of his house. Then he was taken to the Airport police station, where the military commissar and an employee of Center E also arrived, but were released three hours later.
13:35 Shaveddinov was released from the police department without presenting anything. He suggested that the point of such actions by police officers is “so that everyone gets used to such news and no longer pays attention.”
- On October 15, in 30 regions of the country, supporters and employees, including former ones, of Navalny’s headquarters were searched and interrogated in the “FBK case.”
- On September 12, searches of supporters of Alexei Navalny and his headquarters took place in at least forty cities 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). A number of them had their accounts worth 75 million rubles blocked. And on September 16, the Basmanny District Court authorized dozens of new searches as part of this criminal case.
- On September 9, the Ministry of Justice added the Anti-Corruption Foundation to the register of “foreign agents.”
- On August 3, a criminal case was opened against the Anti-Corruption Foundation founded by Navalny for laundering funds. 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.
