Russia's Interior Ministry has placed Sergei Aleksashenko, formerly a deputy governor of the Bank of Russia and a deputy finance minister, on its wanted list, Russian state news agencies reported on November 18. Aleksashenko, who has criticized Russia's war in Ukraine, has been living in exile in the United States after falling out with President Vladimir Putin's government and had already been designated a "foreign agent." TASS reported that Aleksashenko had been added to the Interior Ministry's wanted list on an unspecified criminal charge. Russian lawmaker Vasiliy Piskarev this week alleged Aleksashenko was engaged in shaping sanctions against Russia.
