The Gagarinsky District Court of Moscow received materials from the administrative case against entrepreneur and former co-owner of Euroset Evgeny Chichvarkin. Mediazona found this information in the database of Moscow courts.
Chichvarkin is accused of failing to provide a report on the activities of a “foreign agent” (Part 2 of Article 19.34 of the Administrative Code). A hearing in his case has not yet been scheduled.
According to current legislation, “foreign agents” must submit reports to the Ministry of Justice several times a year — in particular, on their expenses and activities, financing and goals.
For failure to provide reports, they are subject to administrative liability — rapper Oksimiron, founder of Sobaka.ru magazine Veronika Belotserkovskaya, and artist and femactivist Daria Apakhonchich have already been fined for this. Recently, similar protocols were also drawn up against journalists Roman Badanin and Elizaveta Surnacheva.
Chichvarkin was added to the register of “foreign agents” in June 2022. According to the Ministry of Justice, the entrepreneur is engaged in political activities and receives funding from Ukraine.
