Case summary
Serviceman. On 26 November 2025, he was searched as part of the case on financing the activities of an "undesirable" organisation due to the transfer of money to OVD-Info. However, the media project OVD-Info was not recognised as an "undesirable" organisation. The ruling on the initiation of a criminal case states that OVD-Info was entered in the register of "undesirable" organisations on 29 September 2021 under the number 263, but on the same day the project was entered in the register of "foreign agents" under this number.
