MOSCOW. July 11 (Interfax) - The Russian Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring) has added Yulia Navalnaya, charged with alignment with an extremist network, to the list of individuals and entities known to be involved in extremism or terrorism.
The respective entry appeared on the service's list on Thursday.
By law, banks freeze the money on the accounts of such individuals and entities and suspend banking services.
Earlier, Moscow's Basmanny District Court issued an in-absentia warrant for the arrest of Navalnaya, placed by Russia on the international wanted list.
Navalnaya was charged with alignment with an extremist network. If proven guilty, she will face a fine of 300,000 to 600,000 rubles, or compulsory labor for one to four years, or imprisonment for two to six years.
Navalnaya was charged with producing and posting online videos aimed at discrediting the authorities and to raise donations for FBK (branded extremist and banned in Russia), a source told Interfax.
The source said Navalnaya was charged in a criminal case investigated since the summer of 2019 on 12 counts, including laundering the illegal earnings of third parties, public calls for terrorism, justifying terrorism, disseminating knowingly false information about the actions of the Russian Armed Forces, and fraud.
