“The non-profit organization Anti-Corruption Fund” is included in the register of non-profit organizations acting as a foreign agent by the Ministry of Justice of Russia, ”the statement said.

As noted, the fact of compliance of the organization with the signs of a non-profit organization performing the functions of a foreign agent was established in the course of monitoring its activities.

In early August, the UK opened a case to launder 1 billion rubles, which funded the Anti-Corruption Fund.

Investigators reported that persons related to the activities of FBK from January 2016 to December 2018 “received from third parties a large amount of money in rubles and foreign currency, which they obviously had been acquired by criminal means”.

Later, the Investigative Committee said that banks received court orders to arrest FBK accounts.
