On July 11, Russia's Federal Financial Supervisory Service put Yulia Navalny, the widow of politician Alexei Navalny, on its list of "terrorists and extremists," AP reported.
People on that list are exposed to the restriction of bank transactions, which is a method, as reported by the American agency, by which the Russian authorities often deal with the opposition.
Russian authorities have not specified the charges against Navalny.
The Alexei Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation and its regional offices were labeled "extremist" by the Russian authorities in 2021.
After the court verdict banning that organization, a number of Navalny's associates left Russia, while those who remained were prosecuted.
On July 9, a court in Moscow issued an arrest warrant for Navalny, who is in exile outside Russia on charges of being a member of an extremist group.
Alexei Navalny died in February 2024 while serving a 19-year prison sentence on Russian authorities' charges of extremism, which he had previously characterized as politically motivated.
The Russian authorities announced that he fell ill in prison after a walk, but did not give details about his death.
Navalny was arrested when he returned to Moscow in January 2021 from Germany, where he was recovering from the effects of poisoning blamed on the Kremlin.
Yulia Navalna accused the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, of her husband's death. Russian officials have denied her accusations.
