Dobrokhotov is the editor-in-chief of the The Insider, which was designated a “foreign agent” earlier this year after it investigated the poisoning of opposition politician Alexei Navalny. Dobrokhotov said he was outside Russia and didn’t want to disclose his location. He said the allegation that he had illegally crossed the border was absurd and that he had every right to travel outside the country.
Yulia Kuznetsova, his lawyer, said he had been declared a wanted person on September 23. There was no immediate confirmation of Dobrokhotov’s status from the authorities.
