A report was drawn up on The Insider due to the lack of foreign agent markings

Roskomnadzor appealed to the court with a demand to fine The Insider publication due to the lack of foreign agent labeling. TASS reports this.

The court hearing under the article on violation of the legislation on foreign agents (Part 1 of Article 19.34.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) is scheduled for November 17.

The headline and text of the news have been changed due to clarification of information about the sanctions. We previously reported that Roskomnadzor is demanding that The Insider be blocked.

In September, the editor-in-chief of The Insider, Roman Dobrokhotov, was put on the wanted list as part of a case of illegal border crossing (Part 1 of Article 322 of the Criminal Code). The journalist left Russia.
In July 2021, Dobrokhotov was searched in a libel case (Article 128.1 of the Criminal Code). The case was opened on the basis of a statement from Dutch blogger Max van der Werff, who wrote about the downing of a Malaysian Boeing in Donbass. Van der Werff's claims were caused by an article that spoke about his cooperation with the GRU and the Russian Ministry of Defense. Later it became known that the case was opened for a post about a downed Boeing on Dobrokhotov’s Twitter account.
In 2020–2021, The Insider journalists, in collaboration with other investigators, wrote a series of articles about the alleged poisoners of politicians Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Kara-Murza and writer Dmitry Bykov. On July 23, 2021, the Ministry of Justice included The Insider in the register of media “foreign agents.”
On July 15, 2022, the Prosecutor General's Office recognized the Latvian publication The Insider and investigative media Bellingcat Ltd as “undesirable organizations.” (UK) and Stichting Bellingcat (Netherlands), as well as the Czech Institute for the Legal Initiative of Central and Eastern Europe (CEELI Institute).
