A Dagestani woman has been accused of financing an extremist organization.

A Dagestani woman faces up to eight years in prison for financing extremist activity for transferring funds to the account of a liquidated organization.

The criminal case against the woman was prompted by materials from the republic's FSB department, which discovered a money transfer made in 2026.

According to investigators, the Dagestani woman was a supporter of a non-profit organization that was deemed extremist in Russia, banned, and liquidated by court order.

The woman "made a money transfer to a bank account used to support the activities of the organization," the Dagestani Investigative Committee's Telegram channel reported.

The agency did not specify when exactly the organization in question was banned or how much money the defendant transferred to the account. The investigation also did not indicate whether the woman agreed with the charges.

The charge of financing extremist activity (Part 1 of Article 282.3 of the Russian Criminal Code) carries a sentence of three to eight years in prison. The case has been sent to the prosecutor; after the indictment is approved, she will appear in court.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that on April 9, 2026, the Supreme Court recognized the Memorial movement* as an extremist organization and banned its activities in Russia. The lawyer was not allowed into the closed-door hearing.
