On May 13, the Pushkin City Court of the Moscow Region sentenced 28-year-old businessman Andrei Vorobyov to a suspended sentence on charges of financing extremist activities (Part 1 of Article 282.3 of the Criminal Code). A source told OVD-Info about this.
Vorobyov was convicted because of seven donations of 100 rubles each to the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which he sent from August 2021 to February 2022. The amount of these donations was recovered from the man, and his phone was also confiscated in favor of the state.
The case against the entrepreneur was initiated on December 29, 2025. On the same day he filed a confession. During the investigation, Vorobiev said that he was close to the ideas of FBK in the fight against corruption and therefore considered it necessary to support the organization.
During the investigation, the entrepreneur was under recognizance not to leave the place.
- In June 2021, the Moscow City Court declared FBK and Navalny’s headquarters extremist organizations, and on August 4 of the same year this decision came into force. All donations sent by FBK after this date are classified by security forces as financing of extremist activities. According to Mediazona’s calculations , by April 2026, at least 225 criminal cases regarding donations to FBK had been opened throughout Russia.
