The ongoing case centers on the whereabouts of Dmitry Glukhovsky, the author placed on an international wanted list, and the broader questions surrounding his legal status in Moscow. DEA News reports, citing documents submitted to the Moscow Basmanny Court, that investigators have not yet established where Glukhovsky is currently located. This lack of a confirmed location has become a focal point in the proceedings, underscoring the difficulties authorities face when pursuing individuals who travel across borders while facing legal actions in their home country.
During the April 13 hearing related to the Glukhovsky case, in which the author was accused in absentia of disseminating false information about the RF Armed Forces, it was clarified that his exact location remains unknown. The only verified detail is that Glukhovsky departed from Sheremetyevo Airport on an Aeroflot flight bound for Barcelona. This traceable step raises questions about whether the author took any additional routes or altered his travel plans in the wake of the case, and it invites speculation about potential detention or asset tracing efforts by authorities should he re-enter a jurisdiction where the charges are valid.
In the same session, the court examined interrogation records from two witnesses who co-founded a tobacco company, with a third founder identified as Glukhovsky’s brother, Pavel. The witnesses indicated that Pavel Glukhovsky also left Russia. Despite their departure, the witnesses expressed support for Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, aligning with a broader, politically charged discourse surrounding the case. The testimonies add a layer of complexity to the proceedings, signaling how personal and business connections can intersect with legal actions in high-profile cases that attract international attention.
Glukhovsky faced arrest in absentia in Russia and was placed on the register of media outlets designated as foreign agents in October 2022. The court’s case centered on videos posted by Glukhovsky on social media in which members of the RF Armed Forces were alleged to have committed crimes against Ukrainian civilians. The potential penalties in Russia for such charges range from substantial fines to deprivation of liberty for periods between five and ten years, depending on the charges and the interpretation of the allegations under applicable laws. The broader context of the case reflects the highly charged environment for public figures and activists who comment on sensitive military and political topics, where legal outcomes can have wide-ranging implications for media freedom and national discourse.
