A resident of Ulyanovsk, a major city on the Volga River, has been detained in connection with donating to the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK).

Security forces have detained a 30-year-old resident of Ulyanovsk, a major city on the Volga River, in a case concerning the financing of extremism (Part 1, Article 282.3 of the Criminal Code). This was reported by the press service of the Ulyanovsk region police.

According to investigators, from August 2021 to February 2022, the detainee made at least seven transfers to a non-profit organisation that had been designated extremist.

The man has been placed under travel restrictions.

The press service has not disclosed the exact name of the NGO. It is likely referring to the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which was declared extremist in August 2021. In particular, a video published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the detainee includes footage showing an investigator holding a document mentioning the Anti-Corruption Foundation, as spotted by Mediazona.
