This is not the first time Dobrohotov has received attention from the country’s law enforcement. In July, Moscow police raided his home in connection to a defamation case. The journalist has been accused of libel by Dutch researcher Max van der Werff, after The Insider claimed the Dutchman secretly cooperated with the GRU, Russia’s foreign military intelligence agency, to spread "disinformation" about the Malaysian Airlines Boeing MH17 that was shot down over Ukrainian territory in July 2014.This is not the first time Dobrohotov has received attention from the country’s law enforcement.

The Insider was designated by the country’s Ministry of Justice as a foreign agent earlier this year. However, unlike many other outlets with the tag, the publication has not followed the legal requirements imposed by the state, refusing to attach a ‘foreign agent’ disclaimer to its articles.The Insider was designated by the country’s Ministry of Justice as a foreign agent earlier this year.
