DISINFO: Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation has never done any investigation
SUMMARY
The Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) has never done any investigation. They only publish materials of Western intelligence services.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative attempting to discredit Alexei Navalny, alleging that his organisation is sponsored by anti-Russian forces, whilst deflecting the news agenda away from the responsibility for his poisoning.
Alexei Navalny is a founder and leader of the "Anti-Corruption Foundation" ("Fond Boriby s Korrypciey"), which has investigated embezzlement from the state budget, uncovered the life of Russian politicians and businessmen close to the government and different corruption practices.
FBK's goal is to eliminate corruption. Their funding comes from donations and therefore the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation recognised FBK as a "foreign agent" due to the Russian "foreign agent" law, since they receive donations from outside Russia. However, FBK does not agree with that claim and is trying to appeal this in court.
Read similar disinformation messages alleging that the West has an interest in the death of Navalny to launch a new wave of sanctions against Russia, that only traces of alcohol and caffeine were found in Navalny's blood, that the West will falsely accuse Russia of poisoning Navalny, as with Skripal and Litvinenko or that the US used Navalny case to block Russian vaccine against COVID-19.
