Full summary
The head of Transparency International in Russia, Shumanov, was designated as a "foreign agent" in October 2022. In August 2024, it was reported that he had been placed on a wanted list in connection with a case alleging evasion of duties required of a "foreign agent." Previously, Shumanov had been fined at least twice under a similar administrative charge (Article 19.34 of the Code of Administrative Offences).
