"The FBI is offering a reward of up to $ 250,000 for information leading to the arrest of Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin," the FBI website says.
As noted in the department, on February 16, 2018, the US District Court in the District of Columbia issued an arrest warrant for Prigozhin on charges of conspiracy.
At the same time, the company "Concord" recalled that in 2020, Interpol excluded Prigozhin from the department's database and canceled the "Red Notice" in relation to the businessman.
In addition, on March 17, 2020, a criminal charge of alleged interference in the US presidential election "was completely dropped by the US Department of Justice."
In March 2020, a US court granted a motion by prosecutors to discontinue the case against the Russian company Concord Management on charges of allegedly "meddling" in the US presidential election.
In mid-February 2018, the US Department of Justice and Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller filed a number of charges against Russian companies and some citizens in the case of the so-called Russian trolls.
They were charged with collecting intelligence, using stolen personal data of US citizens and organizing protests.
These included the Internet Research Agency, Concord Management and Consulting, and Concord Catering, as well as Prigozhin himself and 12 more Russians.
