The Basmanny Court received a petition from the investigation to arrest Ilya Krasilshchik in absentia

Tomorrow, March 16, the Basmanny District Court of Moscow will consider a petition from the investigation for the arrest in absentia of media manager Ilya Krasilshchik in the case of fakes about the Russian army (Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). About it informed his lawyer Sergei Badamshin. The meeting is scheduled for 9:30 am.

The case against Mr. Dyer was initiated in April 2022 for an Instagram post (owned by Meta, recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned in the Russian Federation) about the killings of civilians in the Ukrainian city of Bucha. In July last year, the Interior Ministry put him on the wanted list. On March 2, 2023, Ilya Krasilshchik was charged in absentia in the case of fakes about the Russian army.

Ilya Krasilshchik is the former editor-in-chief of Afisha, the former publisher of Meduza (recognized as a foreign agent and undesirable organization in the Russian Federation) and the former head of Yandex.Lavka. After the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, Ilya Krasilshchik left Russia and launched the human rights project Support Service.
