A criminal case was opened against a 29-year-old resident of the Saratov region, Ravil Iskaliev, under the article on financing extremist activities (Part 1 of Article 282.3 of the Criminal Code) because of a donation of 200 rubles to the Anti-Corruption Fund of Alexei Navalny. ASTRA reports this.
Journalists add that the young man was detained, but where he is now is unknown. It is specified that Iskaliev made the transfer in 2021.
The day before, on January 24, a court in Vologda sent activist and lawyer Yevgeny Molotov into custody until March 22 because of a donation of 1,000 rubles to FBK. Molotov was detained on January 23 after a search.
- On June 9, 2021, the Moscow City Court recognized the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), the Foundation for the Protection of Citizens' Rights (FZPG) and the headquarters of Alexei Navalny as extremist organizations. An appeals court later upheld this decision.
- At the end of September 2021, the Investigative Committee announced that a case had been opened against Navalny and his associates, as well as other activists, regarding an extremist community (Article 282.1 of the Criminal Code). Later it became known that several other cases filed earlier against the politician and several key figures in his structures were added to this case. Currently, within the framework of one case, in addition to the article on the extremist community, there are also articles on the financing of extremist activities (Part 1 of Article 282.3 of the Criminal Code), on the legalization of funds acquired by other persons through criminal means (clause “b” of Part 4 Article 174 of the Criminal Code), on the creation of a non-profit organization that infringes on the personality and rights of citizens (Part 2 of Article 239 of the Criminal Code) and on the involvement of minors in dangerous activities (paragraphs “a”, “c” of Part 2 of Article 151.2 of the Criminal Code) ).
