An anti-war businessman from Kirov was sentenced to a fine of 330 thousand rubles in the case of donating to FBK

The Novovyatsky District Court of Kirov sentenced 62-year-old businessman Alexander Avdeev to a fine of 330 thousand rubles, who was accused of financing “extremist” activities because of his donation to the Anti-Corruption Foundation. Kirov activist Maria Rose reported this to Mediazona.

According to her, the case against Avdeev was initiated due to the transfer of less than 200 rubles to FBK. The prosecution requested a fine of 400 thousand for him, reports the publication 7x7.

Judging by the court's website, the businessman was charged with another article - about obstructing the investigation of the case. Rose suggests that this is due to Avdeev's attempt to break his phone.

According to 7x7, security forces came to the businessman with searches in April, he was under recognizance not to leave.

Alexander Avdeev owns the Household Goods and Vasilek stores for gardeners in Kirov. On the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he posted anti-war leaflets in his locations with the phrases “No ***** [woble]” and “Peace ****** [neighbors].”

Since then, the businessman has constantly campaigned against the war to everyone he meets: buyers, sellers, friends, relatives, drivers on the streets - and denunciations were written against him.
