Opera singer Maksakova was put on the international wanted list

Opera singer Maria Maksakova (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation) was put on the international criminal wanted list in a case related to calls for activities against Russia and evading the duties of a foreign agent. This was reported on July 29 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

"She has been put on the international wanted list," the state prosecutor read out.

The opera singer left Russia in May 2022, and a year later the Ministry of Justice recognized her as a foreign agent due to calls for the overthrow of the current Russian government and the transfer of weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
