The Basmanny District Court of Moscow has once again recognized as legal the search of a supporter of politician Alexei Navalny in the “FBK case.” This was reported on Twitter by “Team Navalny”.

Previously, the Moscow City Court canceled and sent for review 14 of 56 orders for searches in the homes of employees and volunteers of Navalny’s headquarters, which took place on October 15. Since the beginning of the case, no suspects or accused have appeared in it.

Also today, the Basmanny Court of Moscow extended the seizure of accounts from 92 Navalny supporters as part of the FBK case until August 3, due to the extension of the investigation.

On October 15, 2019, the Investigative Committee published news in which it reported that searches were being conducted in 30 regions both at the headquarters of the FBK and at the place of residence of employees of the regional divisions of the FBK. A number of them were summoned to investigators for questioning. That day we chronicled the searches.
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.
On September 9, the Ministry of Justice added the Anti-Corruption Foundation to the register of “foreign agents.” In January, FBK drew up the first protocol under the law on foreign agents.
