Russian court shuts down Navalny-linked groups

Published June 10, 2021 2:01am ET



A Russian court on Wednesday shut down groups linked to outspoken Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny after determining they were “extremist.”

Both Navalny’s regional political offices and his Anti-Corruption Foundation, known as FBK, were ordered to be liquidated and transferred to the ownership of the Russian Federation, according to a statement from the Moscow City Court’s press service. The decision also renders all members ineligible to run for office in the future.
