A criminal case has been initiated in Stavropol against a 40-year-old local resident who, according to the investigation, transferred money to an extremist organization seven times.

Employees of the Center for Countering Extremism in the Stavropol Territory, together with the FSB of the region, established the fact of financing an extremist organization.

According to the investigation, the 40-year-old resident of Stavropol was viewing media content on the internet belonging to a person listed in the register of foreign agents, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the region reported today on its Telegram channel.

While watching one of the videos, he clicked on a link under the video and made seven money transfers to the organization. At the same time, the man knew that it had been recognized as extremist in Russia in August 2021. A criminal case has been initiated against him.
