Employees of the German prosecutor’s office in Cologne searched the apartment of Ukrainian citizen Elena Kolbasnikova, famous for organizing major pro-Russian actions in Germany. According to Reuters, prosecutors are looking for evidence that Kolbasnikova donated funds to support the Russian armed forces, and they are also trying to determine whether international sanctions law has been violated.
According to the agency, computers and files containing written documents were seized during the search. Earlier, some German media reported that Kolbasnikova, known for her involvement in organizing major pro-Russian car rallies in Germany, will face trial at the end of March for speaking out in favor of Russia. In this case, she could be liable to a fine and a prison sentence of up to three years.
