The Russian Interior Ministry has added former member of parliament Magomed Gadzhiyev to its wanted list on unspecified charges. In May 2023, the Justice Ministry added Gadzhiyev to its "foreign agents" registry over publicly supporting Ukraine and saying while out of Russia that he is "ready to cooperate with Western nations' secret services in exchange of foreign citizenship."

He left Russia last year for an unspecified country. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
