The Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow fined the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Zavtra, Alexander Prokhanov, four thousand rubles for mentioning the Carnegie Foundation without labeling it a “foreign agent.” TASS reports this with reference to the press service of the court.
Judge Zhelyazkova made a decision on January 15. Prokhanov was found guilty of disseminating information about “foreign agents” in the media without mentioning their status (Part 2.1 of Article 13.15 of the Administrative Code).
As clarified in court, the reason for the administrative case was the article “The United States and the EU are provoking the continuation of the war in Ukraine”, published in the newspaper “Zavtra” on November 28 last year.
By October 2021 alone, five protocols were drawn up against Prokhanov for violating the law on “foreign agents.” The Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow has 11 such administrative cases against the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Zavtra.
The publication was mentioned in the list of “opposition SMK”, found in Roskomnadzor correspondence hacked by “CyberPartisans”. At the same time, in January last year, Ukraine introduced personal economic sanctions against Prokhanov.
