FBK director Ivan Zhdanov was summoned to draw up protocols under the law on “foreign agents”

The director of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, Ivan Zhdanov, and the organization itself were summoned to the Ministry of Justice to draw up protocols under the law on “foreign agents.” Zhdanov announced this on his Twitter.

The Ministry of Justice included FBK in the register of “foreign agents”, allegedly because of money transfers from Spain and the United States in the amount of more than 140 thousand rubles. The money came to an account that was blocked in a case of money laundering at the fund.

• In August 2019, a criminal case was opened against the Anti-Corruption Foundation founded by Alexei Navalny for money laundering. 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.
• In September and October 2019, searches were carried out in several dozen cities in connection with the case of money laundering at FBK.
