The case of Denis Suvorov in Sochi

Case History

In August 2021, a wave of searches took place in Sochi as part of a criminal case against Danil Suvorov. He was detained and placed in custody. The believer was accused of involving a local resident (as it turned out later, an embedded informant) in the activities of an extremist organization. Six months later, the investigator of the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the Krasnodar Territory, A. G. Andrianov, also opened a criminal case against his elder brother, Denis. Both brothers are charged with two articles: participation in the activities of an extremist organization and involvement in it.
