An alarm has been raised at Russia where the executive director of research website Bellingcat, journalist Christou Groszef, was added to the list of wanted.
Christou Grosev, who is Bulgarian, born on 20 May 1969, “Wanted for Violation of Article of Russian Criminal Code”reports the website of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs without further elaboration.
The website Bellingcat, created in July 2014 by the British blogger Elliot Higgins, based in the Netherlands, specializes in journalism based on the analysis of data available to everyone on the Internet, the so-called OSINT (“Open img intelligence” in English).
He has investigated the downing of flight MH17, which killed 298 people in eastern Ukraine in 2014, as well as the alleged involvement of Russian intelligence services in the poisonings of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
In 2022, the Bellingcat team focused on war in Ukrainewhich began on February 24.
Russia, which recently labeled Bellingcat a “threat”, considers the news organization “unwelcome” on its territory.
In September, Mr. Grozhev, head of Russia investigations at the website, as reported by the Athens News Agency, said during an interview with AFP that Bellingcat was “the Kremlin’s worst nightmare.”
