In the Moscow region, a businessperson was given a three-year suspended sentence for donating 700 rubles (approx. US$8) to the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK).

On 13 May, Pushkinsky City Court in the Moscow region sentenced 28-year-old businessperson Andrey Vorobyov to a suspended sentence on charges of financing extremist activity (Part 1, Article 282.3 of the Criminal Code). A source told OVD-Info about the case.

Vorobyov was convicted because of seven donations of 100 rubles each, which he made to the Anti-Corruption Foundation between August 2021 and February 2022. He was ordered to pay the sum of these donations, and his phone was confiscated in favour of the state.

The case against the businessperson was opened on 29 December 2025. That same day, he made a statement of confession. During the investigation, Vorobyov said he identified with the FBK’s anti-corruption ideas and therefore felt it necessary to support the organisation.

During the investigation, the businessperson was under a travel restriction order.

• In June 2021, the Moscow City Court declared FBK and Navalny’s headquarters extremist organisations, and on 4 August of the same year, this decision came into force. All donations sent to FBK after this date are treated by law enforcement as financing of extremist activity. According to Mediazona’s calculations, by April 2026 at least 225 criminal cases had been opened across Russia over donations to FBK.
