Putin orders prosecutors to promptly react to fakes spread online to provoke illegal public actions

MOSCOW. April 25 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has tasked the Russian Prosecutor General's Office with promptly reacting to the dissemination of any fakes on the Internet that can provoke breaches of public order and the organization of illegal public actions, adding that such activities often happen to be organized from abroad.

"Prosecutors must immediately react to the facts of spreading radical ideology, to fakes on the Internet provoking breaches of public order and to the preparation of any illegal actions. They are often and predominantly organized from abroad, in different ways. That's either information or money coming from there," Putin said when speaking at a Prosecutor General's Office board meeting on Monday.
