Krasnoyarsk journalist Svetlana Khustik was arrested in connection with a "fake news" case.

The criminal case was initiated following Svetlana's article in an online publication designated as a "foreign agent," according to the Krasnoyarsk Krai Investigative Committee. After "publishing the interview," investigators claim, the journalist received 64 rubles in fees.

Punishment under the "fake news" article carries a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine of 700 to 1,5 million rubles.
