Journalist Olga Romashova examined publicly available records of prosecutions linked to donations to Vyacheslav Maltsev and associated accounts. Her tally identifies at least 91 criminal cases initiated since 2023.
Of the 91 cases, 15 involve allegations of financing extremist activity, 64 involve alleged financing of terrorism, and 12 contain both charges. These are criminal cases, not counts of convictions.
Cases examined by the journalists include transfers made through YooMoney and DonationAlerts. The review compared public prosecution records and differing court decisions. The tally covers cases the outlet identified, not necessarily every such prosecution.
