The day before, the prosecutor invited 9 years in prison for Nevzorov.

In addition, the state prosecution asked to deprive the publicist of the right to publish on the Internet for 4 years.

According to the version of the investigation, from March to May last year, the journalist published texts and clips with allegedly "deliberately false information" about the crimes of the Russian military in Mariupol and Buchi on his Telegram channel, YouTube channel, and Instagram.

On May 4, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia declared Nevzorov wanted.

Two days later, the Basman court arrested him in absentia.

In the presidential elections of 2012, Nevzorov was a confidant of Vladimir Putin, but currently he is actively advocating the return of Crimea to Ukraine and the complete liberation of Donbass.

In April 2022, the Ministry of Justice of Russia included Nevzorov in the list of mass media - "foreign agents".

The journalist is currently outside Russia.
