← The Justice Department Charges Five People It Says Worked for Russian Intelligence in "a Global Assassination Network" — Including an Offer of $40,000 to Make a Russian Dissident Living Near Washington "Disappear" — and the Attorney General Says It Is "Our Job to Stop America's Adversaries From Unleashing Violence and Terror on American Soil"
“The charges announced reveal an alleged plot by the Russian intelligence services to murder a dissident on U.S. soil for daring to speak out against the Russian government. As alleged in the indictment, this plot exposes the lengths to which our adversaries will go to silence its critics and illustrates the grave threat transnational repression poses to the lives and freedoms of all who challenge authoritarian regimes.
