MOSCOW, March 1 Rapper Alisher Morgenstern* appealed his third foreign agent fine in the amount of 50 thousand rubles, which was imposed on him at the beginning of the year for the lack of foreign agent markings in its content, the court was told.
“An appeal has been received against the decision in the case of an administrative offense,” the court said.
In addition, on March 21, the Moscow City Court will check the legality of another fine of 40 thousand rubles. For the rapper, he became the first for violating the foreign agent law, namely, for failing to indicate the status of a foreign agent in his publications on the Internet.
Also in February, the Moscow City Court approved a fine for the musician in the same amount for failure to submit a declaration of income and expenses to the Ministry of Justice.
For repeated violations of the law on the activities of foreign agents, Morgenstern* may face criminal liability.
Morgenstern* entered the register of foreign agents in May 2022. He later appealed the decision of the Ministry of Justice, but the court sided with the department. According to the case materials, the reason for recognizing the musician as a foreign agent was political posts in the Telegram channel “Not Morgenstern”* and YouTube videos for which the rapper received more than 29 million rubles from 2020 to 2022 from the company Yoola Labs Ltd. registered in Israel.
