St Petersburg's Kuibyshevsky District Court gave Igor Zaitsev a three-year suspended prison sentence under Article 282.3(1) of Russia's Criminal Code, which concerns financing extremist activity. The case arose from donations to the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), which Russian authorities have designated an extremist organisation.
According to reports based on the court press service, Zaitsev made seven transfers of 500 roubles each between August 2021 and February 2022, totalling 3,500 roubles. He was also placed on probation for two years.
The court ordered the confiscation of property worth 3,500 roubles, according to a report citing the court's press service.
