Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov, a Moscow resident who founded the Kremlin-funded Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, allegedly worked with the Russian Federal Security Service to carry out a"malign influence campaign" on U.S. elections, the DOJ wrote in a statement. The indictment alleged that four Florida-based members of the African People's Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement joined the effort.
Ionov, along with Federal Security Service officers Aleksey Borisovich Sukhodolov and Yegor Sergeyevich Popov, are accused of conspiring"to directly and substantially influence democratic elections in the United States," the DOJ said.
