🚨 🇲🇪🇷🇺 HUGE: Montenegro just detained the founder of one of Russia’s most influential pro-Kremlin media networks
Mikhail Zvinchuk, the man behind Rybar, was detained alongside his wife and three associates in the coastal town of Risan, with authorities ordering all five deported over national security concerns.
The U.S. previously offered up to $10 MILLION for information on individuals linked to Rybar, accusing the network of interfering in American politics.
Zvinchuk is also under EU sanctions over alleged disinformation and influence operations.
The curious detail? Zvinchuk had reportedly bragged online about getting past travel restrictions after a border guard failed to check the sanctions database.
Montenegrin police reportedly seized drones and electronic equipment during the operation.
